A cash purchase can either be a check that you write to a vendor or other payee that you have not entered a purchase for, or it can be a purchase for which you have actually paid cash. A cash purchase needs to be applied to expenses.
In the Payment method field, select Cash.
Tip: Clicking the Payment method link will take you to the Vendor Defaults screen where you can add, edit, or delete payment methods.
Enter the line items on the payment the same way as you do in Purchases/Receive Inventory.
Tip: If the Apply to Expenses tab is in focus, you can just enter an amount in the Payment Amount field and Sage 50 will automatically populate the Apply to Expenses tab for you. This is useful if you don't need to enter any details about the payment in the line items.
If the line item contains serialized inventory, you will need to either add or select serial numbers for the item(s). Select the line item with the serialized inventory item, then select the Serial No button to enter or select serial numbers. Either the Serial Number Entry or the Serial Number Selection window appears, depending upon whether you entered a positive or negative quantity. Which window will appear? Enter or select the serial numbers you need and select OK when you're finished to return to the Payments window. However, if the transaction has more than one line item that contains serialized inventory, you can select the OK/Next button to save the current entry and move to the next serialized item.
