Good to know

  • When a purchase bill is closed, the rate you paid becomes that item's purchase rate, and is used to estimate profit on later sales.
  • A purchase entered with an older date does not replace a newer purchase rate.
  • One bill can hold both a purchase and a sale for the same party. The balance is the difference.
