Introduction

Each transaction register represents a particular type of accounting transaction. Invoices, Receipts (payments that you receive against Invoices that you have issued), Purchase Invoices and Payments (that you issue against Purchase Invoices) are each stored in separate registers. The Transaction register is used for all other kinds of transaction (e.g. credit card payments, salaries, transfers between bank accounts).

The Invoice and Receipt registers make up FirstOffice's Sales Ledger, while the Purchase Invoice and Payment registers make up the Purchase Ledger. These four registers are sometimes described as 'Sub Systems'. When you enter a record to any one of these registers and then approve and save it, a corresponding record will be created automatically in the Transaction register. The Transaction register is FirstOffice's Nominal Ledger.

FirstOffice contains five transaction registers. You can open them by clicking the buttons in the Master Control panel:
