Explanation

 

Stock

Depending on the type of transaction, a list of stock can be displayed by pressing F4.

This lists shows all active stock. When the check box Used stock only is activated, the list of stock is reduced to stock used in the actual bookkeeping.

 

Daybook amount

This is the total amount of the transaction in the currency of the bank (daybook).

The amount of a buy will always be a negative amount.

The amount can be entered with or without commission costs.

The cost price of the stock is influenced when the amount is entered including commission costs.

If this is not desirable, commission must be entered as a separate transaction.

 

Number

The number of effects concerned with the transaction.

With the help of the number, the cost price of a stock is calculated.

 

Currency and rate

The currency of a stock can differ from the daybook currency. If the currencies differ, a rate has to be entered to calculate the cost price of the stock in the currency of the stock.

 

Bookkeeping amount and rate

The transaction amount will be recalculated to the bookkeeping currency.

If the bookkeeping currency equals the daybook currency, the rate is 1. If the currencies are not equal, the rate of the daybook currency compared to the rate of the bookkeeping currency must be entered.

 

Costs

In this field the costs in a transaction can be entered. In the settings a general ledger account can set for these costs.

 

Booked

If a transaction has been reconciliated, it will get the status booked.

This transaction cannot be changed or removed.

 

Different currency

By pressing Ctrl+K or by using the right mouse button a different currency can be entered. In the appearing screen the price of stock or the total amount can be entered. If the 'OK' button is pressed this amount will be recalculated to the daybook currency. This is only possible if the transaction is one of type Buy, Sale or Opening balance.
