Sales Ledger Default Settings
Previous Top Next

1.   Select Gx Sales from the toolbar.
2.   Hold the cursor over Options on the menu. 
3.   Select Setup Options from the second menu.
4.   Enter the default Number of Months History that the Sales Ledger is to store.  This is usually at least 24 months, but you can increase this if required. 
5.   Tick the check-box if you are Using Pre-Printed Stationery for sales forms such as invoices and statements.  This will indicate that it is not necessary for the system to print your company contact details and column headings on such print outs. 
6.   Click the radio button for the Due Date Calculation From option that you want to apply as the default for the sales ledger.  This can be amended on an individual account basis for any customers who are exceptions to this.
7.   Contract Expiry Warnings can be used to indicate that customer price contracts are nearing their end dates.  Traffic light icons will appear in Gx CRM\Contact Details when you go into an account with a contract that is due to expire.  Set the number of weeks you want for the amber and red warning lights to be displayed at.  When an operator notices these warning traffic light icons, they should use the Customer Contracts program to extend and update the contract if they do not want it to be removed. 
8.   You can set a Low Profit Warning percentage so the system warns you in sales orders if you enter an order line with less profit than this.
9.   Consolidate Nominal Transactions - in a batch there may be several sales ledger transactions that are to be coded to the same nominal account code resulting in multiple postings to that nominal account. Consolidating the nominal transactions will post a single transaction to each nominal code rather than multiple transactions.  Tick the check-boxes for any form of sales ledger posting where you would want the nominal update consolidated.  Hint: if you lodge cash payments into your bank account as one amount made up of all the cheques and cash paid in, tick the Cash box.  If you pay in cheques separately, do not consolidate cash so that bank reconciliation is easier.  
10.      Use the drop-down menus in the Nominal Code column to select the nominal account code that represents each of the items listed.  These nominal codes will be updated when you process Sales Ledger postings such as Cash Received
