+# Contact and Address
+
+Contacts do not need to be linked to another document, they can be stand alone.  You can even create a contact with only a first name, not linked to any other document or party (Customer/Supplier).
+
+The Contact_ID is automatically created:
+
+1. If only a First Name is entered that First Name defines the ID , thus First name (only)
+2. If a First Name and a Party is linked the ID becomes “FirstName-Party”
+ 
+Contacts can, but do not have to be linked, to:  User, Customer, Supplier, and Sales Partner. Since Customers and Addresses are not directly linked to a User, all links go via Contacts.
+
+A Contact can be linked to the (web) user. If that user is also a Customer, it is linked to the Customer by the Customer ID
+
+Contacts and Addresses in ERPNext are stored separately so that you can
+attach multiple Contacts or Addresses to Customers and Suppliers.
+
+To create a new Contact go to,
+
+> CRM > Contact > New
+
+<img class="screenshot" alt="Contact" src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/crm/contact.png">
+
+Or you can add a Contact or Address directly from the Customer record, click on “New
+Contact” or “New Address”.
+
+<img class="screenshot" alt="Contact" src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/crm/contact-from-cust.png">
+
+> Tip: When you select a Customer in any transaction, one Contact and Address
+gets pre-selected. This is the “Default Contact or Address”.
+
+To Import multiple Contacts and Addresses from a spreadsheet, use the Data
+Import Tool.
+
+---
+
+### Address Titles
+
+The Address Title (Name of person or organization that this address belongs to) is a free format unlinked field. The ID is automatically created from the Address Title and Address Type. (AddressTitle-AddressType).
+
+### Address Linking
+
+Addresses can be entered individually (unlinked)  or linked to customers, leads, suppliers or Sales Partners. 
+
+Linking is done in the reference section where the links can be established.

+A customer, who is sometimes known as a client, buyer, or purchaser is the one
+who receives goods, services, products, or ideas, from a seller for a monetary
+consideration. A customer can also receive goods or services from a vendor or
+a supplier for other valuable considerations.
+
+A customer is uniquely identified by the Customer ID. Normally this ID is identical to the customer Full Name, but in case of duplicate Full Name, a Name-1 is created as ID.
+
+You can either directly create your Customers via
+
+> Selling > Customer
+
+<img class="screenshot" alt="Create Customer" src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/crm/create-customer.gif">
+
+or upload it via the [Data Import Tool]({{docs_base_url}}/user/manual/en/setting-up/data/data-import-tool.html).
+
+A Customer can avail the features (operations) in the selling process. The general flow can be summarised as:
+
+<img class="screenshot" alt="Customer" src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/crm/customer-to selling-flowchart.jpeg">
+
+> Note: Customers are separate from Contacts and Addresses. A Customer can
+have multiple Contacts and Addresses.
+
+### Contacts and Addresses
+
+[Contacts and Addresses]({{docs_base_url}}/user/manual/en/CRM/contact.html) in ERPNext are stored separately so that you can
+attach multiple Contacts or Addresses to Customers and Suppliers
+
+Thus we may have identical Customer Names that are uniquely identified by the ID. Since the email address is not part of the
+customer information, the linking of Customer and User is through Contacts.
+
+### Integration with Accounts
+
+In ERPNext, there is a separate Account record for each Customer, for each
+Company.
+
+When you create a new Customer, ERPNext will automatically create an Account
+Ledger for the Customer under “Accounts Receivable” in the Company set in the
+Customer record.
+
+> Advanced Tip: If you want to change the Account Group under which the
+Customer Account is created, you can set it in the Company master. If you want
+to create an Account in another Company, just change the Company value and
+“Save” the Customer again.
+
+By default, the system does not generate an account for every customer. All
+Customers can be booked in one account called Debtors. In order to manage a
+separate account for each customer, you have to first create the account under
+Accounts Receivable in the [Chart of Accounts]({{docs_base_url}}/user/manual/en/accounts/chart-of-accounts.html) and then add it on the customer's
+form accounts table.
+
+### Customer Settings
+
+You can link a Price List to a Customer (select “Default Price List”), so that
+when you select that Customer, the Price List will be automatically selected.
+
+You can set “Credit Days”, so that it is automatically set due date in the Sales
+Invoices made against this Customer. Credit Days can be defined as fixed days or last day of the next month based on invoice date.
+
+You can set how much credit you want to allow for a Customer by adding the
+“Credit Limit”. You can also set a global “Credit Limit” in the Company
+master. Classifying Customers
+
+ERPNext allows you to group your Customers using [Customer Group]({{docs_base_url}}/user/manual/en/CRM/setup/customer-group.html)
+and also divide them into [Territories]({{docs_base_url}}/user/manual/en/setting-up/territory.html)
+Grouping will help you get better analysis of your data and
+identify which Customers are profitable and which are not. Territories will
+help you set sales targets for the respective territories.
+You can also mention [Sales Person]({{docs_base_url}}/user/manual/en/CRM/setup/sales-person.html) against a customer.
+
+### Sales Partner
+
+A Sales Partner is a third party distributor / dealer / commission agent /
+affiliate / reseller who sells the companies products, for a commission. This
+is useful if you make the end sale to the Customer, involving your Sales
+Partner.
+
+If you sell to your Sales Partner who in-turn sells it to the Customer, then
+you must make a Customer instead.

+To get the customer through the door, you may be doing all or any of the
+following:
+
+  * Listing your product on directories.
+  * Maintaining an updated and searchable website.
+  * Meeting people at trade events.
+  * Advertising your product or services.
+
+When you send out the word that you are around and have something valuable to
+offer, people will come in to check out your product. These are your Leads.
+
+They are called Leads because they may lead you to a sale. Sales people
+usually work on leads by calling them, building a relationship and sending
+information about their products or services. It is important to track all
+this conversation to enable another person who may have to follow-up on that
+contact. The new person is then able to know the history of that particular
+Lead.
+
+---
+
+Leads are the  entities constituting a first contact. Leads can be created by a system users or by a web-user. When a lead is created minimal info (name,email) is entered and the lead is (default) linked to the active system user, the owner of the lead  A user configurable drop list is used to classify Status of the lead (Open, Replied etc)
+
+To create a Lead, go to:
+
+> CRM > Lead > New Lead
+
+<img class="screenshot" alt="Lead" src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/crm/lead.png">

+ERPNext gives you a lot of options you may want to store about your Leads. For
+example what is the source, how likely are they to give you business etc. If
+you have a healthy number of leads, this information will help you prioritize

+
+> **Tip:** ERPNext makes it easy to follow-up on leads by updating the “Next
+Contact” details. This will add a new event in the Calendar for the User who
+has to contact the lead next.
+
+### Difference between Lead, Contact and Customer
+
+A Lead is a potential Customer, someone who can give you business. A Customer is an
+organization or individual who has given you business before (and has an Account
+in your system). A Contact is a person who belongs to the Customer.
+
+A Lead can be converted to a Customer by selecting “Customer” from the **Make**
+dropdown. Once the Customer is created, the Lead becomes “Converted” and any
+further Opportunities from the same source can be created against this
+Customer.
+
+<img class="screenshot" alt="Create Customer" src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/crm/lead-to-customer.gif">
+
+---
+
+### Creation via Portal
+
+If a someone creates an account through the website interface is Lead is automatically created, status is Open and the Owner is the webuser.
+
+After registration the webform Addresses is called, where the web user can enter address information.The address is linked to the lead using the **Lead Name-Address Type** as ID.
+
+If using the Cart functionality, items are ordered the Lead is Converted and a Customer is created using the Web-User Name. Because a Customer can only be linked to a webuser using the (foreign) ID in Contact, such contact has to be created as well.

+The concept of accounting is explained with an example given below: We will
+take a "Tea Stall" as a company and see how to book accounting entries for the
+business.
+
+  * Mama (The Tea-stall owner) invests Rs 25000 to start the business.
+
+![A&L]({{docs_base_url}}/assets/old_images/erpnext/assets-1.png)
+
+__Analysis:__ Mama invested 25000 in company, hoping to get some profit. In other
+words, company is liable to pay 25000 to Mama in the future. So, account
+"Mama" is a liability account and it is credited. Company's cash balance will
+be increased due to the investment, "Cash" is an asset to the company and it
+will debited.
+
+  * The company needs equipments (Stove, teapot, cups etc) and raw materials (tea, sugar, milk etc) immediately. He decides to buy from the nearest general store "Super Bazaar" who is a friend so that he gets some credit. Equipments cost him 2800 and raw materials worth of 2200. He pays 2000 out of total cost 5000.
+
+![A&L]({{docs_base_url}}/assets/old_images/erpnext/assets-2.png)
+
+__Analysis:__ Equipments are "Fixed Assets" (because they have a long life) of the
+company and raw materials "Current Assets" (since they are used for day-to-day
+business), of the company. So, "Equipments" and "Stock in Hand" accounts have
+been debited to increase the value. He pays 2000, so "Cash" account will be
+reduced by that amount, hence credited and he is liable to pay 3000 to "Super
+Bazaar" later, so Super Bazaar will be credited by 3000.
+
+  * Mama (who takes care of all entries) decides to book sales at the end of the every day, so that he can analyze daily sales. At the end of the very first day, the tea stall sells 325 cups of tea, which gives net sales of Rs. 1575. The owner happily books his first day sales.
+
+![A&L]({{docs_base_url}}/assets/old_images/erpnext/assets-3.png)
+
+__Analysis:__ Income has been booked in "Sales of Tea" account which has been
+credited to increase the value and the same amount will be debited to "Cash"
+account. Lets say, to make 325 cups of tea, it costs Rs. 800, so "Stock in
+Hand" will be reduced (Cr) by 800 and expense will be booked in "Cost of goods
+sold" account by same amount.
+
+At the end of the month, the company paid the rent amount of stall (5000) and
+salary of one employee (8000), who joined from the very first day.
+
+![A&L]({{docs_base_url}}/assets/old_images/erpnext/assets-4.png)
+
+### Booking Profit
+
+As month progress, company purchased more raw materials for the business.
+After a month he books profit to balance the "Balance Sheet" and "Profit and
+Loss Statements" statements. Profit belongs to Mama and not the company hence
+its a liability for the company (it has to pay it to Mama). When the Balance
+Sheet is not balanced i.e. Debit is not equal to Credit, the profit has not
+yet been booked. To book profit, the following entry has to be made:
+
+![A&L]({{docs_base_url}}/assets/old_images/erpnext/assets-5.png)
+
+Explanation: Company's net sales and expenses are 40000 and 20000
+respectively. So, company made a profit of 20000. To make the profit booking
+entry, "Profit or Loss" account has been debited and "Capital Account" has
+been credited. Company's net cash balance is 44000 and there is some raw
+materials available worth 1000 rupees.

+### Double Entry Accounting  
+
+Double entry bookkeeping is a system of accounting in which every transaction
+has a corresponding positive and negative entry : debits and credits. Every
+transaction involves a [debit entry
+](http://www.e-conomic.co.uk/accountingsystem/glossary/debit)in one account
+and a [credit
+entry](http://www.e-conomic.co.uk/accountingsystem/glossary/credit) in another
+account. This means that every transaction must be recorded in two accounts;
+one account will be debited because it receives value and the other account
+will be credited because it has given value.

+C-Form functionality is only applicable for Indian customers.
+
+**What is C-Form?**
+
+C-Form is issued by the Customer. If Customer Issues C-Form, supplier applies discounted CST (central sales tax) in the invoice. C-Form is only applicable on the inter-state transactions.
+
+C-Form functionality in ERPNext allows Supplier to update C-Form No. as received from Customer in the submitted Sales Invoice. Also you can create report on Sales Invoice and track invoices for which C-Form has not yet been received from Customer.
+
+Following are step to manage C-Form related sales in ERPNext.
+
+####Set C-Form Applicability
+
+While creating Sales invoice for the customer, set C-Form applicability in Sales Invoice. In More Info section of Sales Invoice, set field called **Is C-Form Applicable** as **Yes**. Bydefault, this field will have No for a value.
+ 
+![C-form]({{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/articles/Selection_0028c9f9a.png)
+
+Updating this field as Yes will allow you to pull this Sales Invoice in the C-Form Tool, and update C-Form No. as received from the Customer.
+
+####Create C-Form Record
+
+After receiving C-Form from your Customer, you should update that C-Form no. in the Sales Invoice by creating C-Form record.
+
+Go to `Accounts > Setup > C-Form > New`
+
+Enter details like C-Form No, Received Date, State and Amount etc. Select Customer and pull related Sales Invoices under provided table.
+
+![New C-Form]({{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/articles/Selection_020f01c1e.png)

+# Manage Foreign Exchange Difference
+
+In ERPNext, you can create transactions in the foriegn currency as well. When creating transaction in the foreign currency, system updates current exchanage rate with respect to customer/supplier's currency and base currency on your Company. Since Exchange Rate is always flucuating, on might receive payment from the client on exchange rate different from one mentioned in the Sales/Purchase Invoice. Following is the intruction on how to manage different amount avail in payment entry due to exchange rate change.
+
+#### Add Expense Account
+
+To mange currency difference, create Account **Foreign Exchange Gain/Loss**. This account is generally created on the Expense side of P&L statement. However, you can place it under another group as per your accounting requirement.
+
+<img alt="Accounts Frozen Date" class="screenshot" src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/articles/exchange-rate-difference-1.png">
+
+#### Book Payment Entry
+
+In the payment voucher, update invoice amount against Customer or Supplier account, then update actual payment amount against Bank/Cash account. Add new row and select Foreign Exchange Gain/Loss to update currency difference amount.
+
+In the below scenario, Sales Invoice was made EUR, at the exchange rate of 1.090. As per this rate, Sales Invoice amount in USD (base currency) was $1000.
+
+One receipt of payment, exchange rate changed. As per the new exchange rate, payment received in the base currency was $1080. This means gain of $80 due to change in exchange rate. Following is how Foreign Exchange Gain will be booked in this scenerio.

+### 1. Linking Project and Cost Center
+
+#### 1.1 Create Project
+
+To create new Project, go to:
+
+`Projects > Project > New`
+
+<img alt="Project Default Cost Center" class="screenshot" src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/articles/project-cost-center-4.png">
+
+#### 1.2 Create Cost Center

+
+### 2. Project and Cost Center in Sales & Purchase Transactions
+
+#### 2.1 Project in the Sales Transactions
+
+In the sales transactions (which are Sales Order, Delivery Note and Sales Invoice), Project will be selected in the More Info section. On selection of a Project, respective Cost Center will be updated for all the items in that transaction. Cost Center will be updated on in the transactions which has Cost Center field.

+#### 2.2 Project in the Purchase Transactions
+
+In the purchase transactions, Project is define for each line item. This is because you can create a consolidated purchase entry for various projects. On selection of Project, its default cost center will auto-fetch.
+
+As per perpetual inventory valuation system, expense for the purchased item will be booked when raw-materials are consumed. On consumption of goods, if you are creating Material Issue (stock) entry, then Expense Cost (says Cost of Goods Sold) and Project's Cost Center should be updated in that entry.

+Let's consider an example to understand an effect of each charge type. We purchase ten units of item, at the rate of 800. total purchase amount is 800. Purchased item has 4% VAT applied on it, and INR 100 was incurred in transportation.
+
+####Total:
+
+Tax or Charge categorized as **Total** will be included in the total of purchase transactions. But it will not have impact on the valuation of item purchased.
+
+If VAT 4% is applied on item, it will amount to INR 32 (at item's based rate is 800). Since VAT is the [consumption tax](https://frappe.io/blog/erpnext-features/managing-consumption-tax), its should be added value of Purchase Order/Invoice, since it will be included in payable towards supplier.

+Let's assume that transportion is arranged by our supplier, but we need to pay transportation charges to them. In that case, for transportation charges, category selected should be Total and Valuation. With this, INR 100 transportation charge will be added to the actual purchase amount 800. Also, INR 100 will reflect in the total, as it will be payable for us towards supplier.

+#Withdrawing Salary from Owner's Equity Account
+
+### Question
+
+After meeting with my accountant here in the US, I was informed that with my company being a sole member, I should not pay myself a salary that would hit the direct expenses account but instead should take a "draw" that hits the balance sheet and not the expenses. Can you please advise how I should set this up in ERP Next please?
+
+### Answer
+
+1. Create an account for **Owner's Equity** under Liabilities if you already do not have. This account will be your investment in the business and the accumulated profits (or losses). It will have a "Credit" type balance.
+2. In an Version 5, Equity will be a new head (not under Liabilities). (In either case Assets = Owner's Equity + Liabilities, so your balance sheet will be okay [Learn more about owner's equity account](http://www.accountingcoach.com/blog/what-is-owners-equity)).
+3. Create an account for **Owner's Draws** under **Owner's Equity**.
+4. Note that the balance of **Owner's Draws** will always be negative since you are reducing money from your total equity / profits.
+
+### Example
+
+Example journal entry (using Journal Voucher in ERPNext) for a withdrawal of $1000 would be:
+
+1. Credit **Cash** $1000
+2. Debit **Owner's Draws** $1000

+A Bank Guarantee is a guarantee from a lending institution such as a bank ensuring the liabilities of a debtor will be met. In other words, if the debtor fails to settle a debt, the bank covers it. A Bank Guarantee enables the customer, or debtor, to acquire goods, buy equipment or draw down loans, and thereby expand business activity.

+A client may ask you to provide a Bank Guarantee from a third party such as a bank. This guarantee is for a specified amount, which is usually a percentage of the total value of the contract. The Bank Guarantee is valid for a specified duration after which it expires and must be returned to you by the client.

+In ERPNext, you can set and manage Budgets against a specific Account. This is useful when, for example, you are doing online sales. You have a budget for search ads, and you want ERPNext to stop or warn you from over spending, based on that budget.
+
+Budgets are also great for planning purposes. When you are making plans for the next financial year, you would typically target a revenue based on which you would set your expenses. Setting a budget will ensure that your expenses do not get out of hand, at any point, as per your plans.
+
+In ERPNext, budget against an Account is defined via Cost Center. Following are the steps to define a Budget.
+
+###Cost Center
+
+To create new Cost Center, go to:
+
+> Accounts > Budget and Cost Center > Chart of Cost Center > Add New Cost Center
+
+<img class="screenshot" alt="Budget" src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/accounts/budgeting-cost-center.png">
+
+###Budgeting
+
+####Step 1: Create a new Budget
+
+To define a Budget, go to:
+
+> Accounts > Budget and Cost Center > Budget > New
+
+####Step 2: Select Cost Center
+
+In the Budget form, select a Cost Center. Budgets can be defined against any Cost Center whether it is a Group / Leaf node in the Chart of Cost Centers. 
+
+####Step 3: Select Account
+
+In the Budgets table, select Income / Expense account for which Budget is to be defined. 
+
+<img class="screenshot" alt="Budget" src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/accounts/budget-account.png">
+
+####Step 4: Monthly Distribution
+
+If you have seasonal business, you can also define a Monthly Distribution record, to distribute the budget between months. If you don't set the monthly distribution, ERPNext will calculate the budget on yearly
+basis or in equal proportion for every month.
+
+<img class="screenshot" alt="Monthly Distribution" src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/accounts/monthly-budget-distribution.png">
+
+####Step 5: Alert on Budget
+
+While setting budget, you can also define the actions when expenses will exceed the allocated budget for a period. You can set separate action for monthly and annual budgets. There are 3 types of actions: Stop, Warn and Ignore. If Stop, system will not allow to book expenses more than allocated budget. In Case of Warn, it will just warn the user that expenses has been exceeded from the allocated budget. And Ignore will do nothing.

+The Chart of Accounts forms the blueprint of your organization. The overall
+structure of your Chart of Accounts is based on a system of double entry
+accounting that has become a standard all over the world to quantify how a
+company is doing financially.
+
+The Chart of Accounts helps you to answer:
+
+  * What is your organisation worth?
+  * How much debt have you taken?
+  * How much profit are you making (and hence paying tax)?
+  * How much are you selling?
+  * What is your expense break-up
+
+You may note that as a business manager, it is very valuable to see how well
+your business is doing.
+
+> Tip: If you can’t read a Balance Sheet (It took me a long time to
+figure this out) it's a good opportunity to start learning about this. It will
+be worth the effort. You can also take the help of your accountant to setup
+your Chart of Accounts.
+
+Financial statements for your company are easily viewable in ERPNext. You can view financial statements
+such as  Balance Sheet, Profit and Loss statement and Cash flow statement.
+
+An Example of various financial statement are given below:
+
+#### Cash Flow Report
+<img class="screenshot" alt="Cash Flow Report" src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/accounts/cash_flow_report.png">
+
+#### Profit and Loss Report

+
+#### Balance Sheet Report
+<img class="screenshot" alt="Balance Sheet Report" src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/accounts/balance_sheet_report.png">
+
+To edit your Chart of Accounts in ERPNext go to:
+
+>  Accounts > Setup > Chart of Accounts
+
+Chart of Accounts is a tree view of the names of the Accounts (Ledgers and
+Groups) that a Company requires to manage its books of accounts. ERPNext sets
+up a simple chart of accounts for each Company you create, but you have to
+modify it according to your needs and legal requirements. For each company,
+Chart of Accounts signifies the way to classify the accounting entries, mostly
+based on statutory (tax, compliance to government regulations) requirements.
+
+Let us understand the main groups of the Chart of Accounts.
+
+<img class="screenshot" alt="Chart of Accounts" src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/accounts/chart-of-accounts-1.png">
+
+### Balance Sheet Accounts
+
+The Balance Sheet has Application of Funds (/assets) and Sources of Funds
+(Liabilities) that signify the net-worth of your company at any given time.
+When you begin or end a financial period, all the Assets are equal to the
+Liabilities.
+
+> Accounting: If you are new to accounting, you might be wondering, how can
+Assets be equal to Liabilities? That would mean the company has nothing of its
+own. Thats right. All the “investment” made in the company to buy assets (like
+land, furniture, machines) is made by the owners and is a liability to the
+company. If the company would want to shut down, it would need to sell all the
+assets and pay back all the liabilities (including profits) to the owners,
+leaving itself with nothing.
+
+All the accounts under this represent an asset owned by the company like "Bank
+Account", "Land and Property", "Furniture" or a liability (funds that the
+company owes to others) like "Owners funds", "Debt" etc.
+
+Two special accounts to note here are Accounts Receivable (money you have to
+collect from your customers) and Accounts Payable (money you have to pay to
+your suppliers) under Assets and Liabilities respectively.
+
+### Profit and Loss Accounts
+
+Profit and Loss is the group of Income and Expense accounts that represent
+your accounting transactions over a period.
+
+Unlike Balance sheet accounts, Profit and Loss accounts (or PL accounts) do
+not represent net worth (/assets), but rather represent the amount of money
+spent and collected in servicing customers during the period. Hence at the
+beginning and end of your Fiscal Year, they become zero.
+
+In ERPNext it is easy to create a Profit and Loss analysis chart. An example
+of a Profit and Loss analysis chart is given below:
+
+<img class="screenshot" alt="Financial Analytics Profit and Loss Statement" src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/accounts/financial-analytics-pl.png">
+
+(On the first day of the year you have not made any profit or loss, but you
+still have assets, hence balance sheet accounts never become zero at the
+beginning or end of a period)
+
+### Groups and Ledgers
+
+There are two main kinds of Accounts in ERPNext - Group and Ledger. Groups can
+have sub-groups and ledgers within them, whereas ledgers are the leaf nodes of
+your chart and cannot be further classified.
+
+Accounting Transactions can only be made against Ledger Accounts (not Groups)
+
+> Info: The term "Ledger" means a page in an accounting book where entries are
+made. There is usually one ledger for each account (like a Customer or a
+Supplier).
+
+> Note: An Account “Ledger” is also sometimes called as Account “Head”.
+
+<img class="screenshot" alt="Chart of Accounts" src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/accounts/chart-of-accounts-2.png">
+
+### Other Account Types
+
+In ERPNext, you can also specify more information when you create a new
+Account, this is there to help you select that particular account in a
+scenario like Bank Account or a Tax Account and has no effect on the Chart
+itself.
+
+### Creating / Editing Accounts
+
+To create new Accounts, explore your Chart of Accounts and click on an Account
+group under which you want to create the new Account. On the right side, you
+will see an option to “Open” or “Add Child” a new Account.
+
+<img class="screenshot" alt="Chart of Accounts" src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/accounts/chart-of-accounts-3.png">
+
+Option to create will only appear if you click on a Group (folder) type
+Account.
+
+ERPNext creates a standard structure for you when the Company is created but
+it is up to you to modify or add or remove accounts.
+
+Typically, you might want to create Accounts for
+
+  * Types of Expenses (travel, salaries, telephone etc) under Expenses.
+  * Taxes (VAT, Sales Tax etc based on your country) under Current Liabilities.
+  * Types of Sales (for example, Product Sales, Service Sales etc.) under Income.
+  * Types of Assets (building, machinery, furniture etc.) under Fixed Assets.

+In the sales and purchase transactions, you can apply taxes and other charges on the items. For the ease of applying taxes, you can fetch values from the [Sales Taxes and Charges master](/contents//setting-up/setting-up-taxes). Taxes and charges are applied equally on all the items. For example, if tax GST 16% is added in the tax table, then it will be applied on all the items. However, if you need to have different tax rate applied on some of the items, following is how you should setup Items and Sales Taxes and Other Charges master in your ERPNext account.
+
+Let's assume that we are creating a Sales Order. We have Sales Taxes and Charges master for GST 16%. Out of all the Sales Items, on one item, only 12% GST will be applied, while one more item is exempted from the tax.
+
+####Step 1: Mention Tax Applicable in the Item master
+
+Items on which differential tax rate is applied, you should mention tax rate for that item in the Item master itself. Item master has tax table where you can list taxes which will be applied on it.
+
+> Tax rate mentioned in the item master gets preference over tax rate entered in the transactions.
+
+Here is the example of Item on which 12% GST is applied only.
+
+<img class="screenshot" alt="Opening Account" src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/accounts/item-wise-tax.png">

+
+####Step 2: Setup Taxes and Other Charges
+
+In Sales Taxes and Other Charges master, select GST 16% account and mention Tax Rate as 16. This tax rate will be applied on all the Items selected in the Sales Order, unless specific Tax Rate is defined in the Item master.

+
+<div class="well">If you want to have tax rate always applied from the Item master, then you should update Rate for the tax account as zero in the Taxes and Charges master.</div>

+####Step 3: Tax Calculation in transaction

+In the Sales Order, we have selected many Items. For the items mentioned in blue, tax rate is applied based on tax rate mentioned in the taxes table. For the items highlited in red, tax rate has fetched for them from the respective item master.

+All types of accounting entries other than **Sales Invoice** and **Purchase

+
+To create a Journal Entry go to:
+
+> Accounts > Documents > Journal Entry > New

+## Common Entries
+
+A look at some of the common accounting entries that can be done via Journal
+Voucher.
+
+#### Expenses (non accruing)
+
+Many times it may not be necessary to accrue an expense, but it can be
+directly booked against an expense Account on payment. For example a travel
+allowance or a telephone bill. You can directly debit Telephone Expense
+(instead of your telephone company) and credit your Bank on payment.
+
+  * Debit: Expense Account (like Telephone expense)
+  * Credit: Bank or Cash Account
+
+#### Bad Debts or Write Offs
+
+If you are writing off an Invoice as a bad debt, you can create a Journal
+Voucher similar to a Payment, except instead of debiting your Bank, you can
+debit an Expense Account called Bad Debts.
+
+  * Debit: Bad Debts Written Off
+  * Credit: Customer
+
+> Note: There may be regulations in your country before you can write off bad
+debts.
+
+#### Depreciation
+
+Depreciation is when you write off certain value of your assets as an expense.
+For example if you have a computer that you will use for say 5 years, you can
+distribute its expense over the period and pass a Journal Entry at the end
+of each year reducing its value by a certain percentage.
+
+  * Debit: Depreciation (Expense)
+  * Credit: Asset (the Account under which you had booked the asset to be depreciated)
+
+> Note: There may be regulations in your country that define by how much
+amount you can depreciate a class of Assets.
+
+#### Credit Note
+
+"Credit Note" is made for a Customer against a Sales Invoice when the 
+company needs to adjust a payment for returned goods. When a Credit Note
+is made, the seller can either make a payment to the customer or adjust 
+the amount in another invoice.
+
+  * Debit: Sales Return Account
+  * Credit: Customer Account
+  
+#### Debit Note
+
+"Debit Note" is made for a Supplier against a Purchase Invoice or accepted 
+as a credit note from supplier when a company returns goods. When a Debit
+Note is made, the company can either receive a payment from the supplier or 
+adjust the amount in another invoice.
+
+  * Debit: Supplier Account
+  * Credit: Purchase Return Account 
+
+#### Excise Entry
+
+When a Company buys good from a Supplier, company pays excise duty
+on these goods to Supplier. And when a company sells these goods to Customers, 
+it receives excise duty. Company will deduct payable excise duty and deposit balance 
+in Govt. account.
+
+  * When a Company buys goods with Excise duty: 
+    * Debit: Purchase Account
+    * Debit: Excise Duty Account
+	* Credit: Supplier Account
+	
+  * When a Company sells goods with Excise duty: 
+    * Debit: Customer Account
+    * Credit: Sales Account
+	* Credit: Excise Duty Account

+
+1. Item Code: An Item for the Asset must be a non-stock item, with "Is Asset" field checked.
+
+	<img class="screenshot" alt="Asset Item" src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/accounts/asset-item.png">
+
+2. Asset Category: The category of assets it belongs to.
+3. Is Existing Asset: Check if the asset is being carried forward from the previous Fiscal Year. The existing assets which are partially / fully depreciated can also be created/maintained for the future reference.
+4. Status: The options are - Draft, Submitted, Partially Depreciated, Fully Depreciated, Sold and Scrapped.
+5. Warehouse: Set the location of the asset.
+6. Gross Purchase Amount: The purchase cost of the asset.
+7. Expected Value After Useful Life: Useful Life is the time period over in which the company expects that the asset will be productive. After that period, either the asset is scrapped or sold. In case it is sold, mention the estimated value here. This value is also known as Salvage Value, Scrap Value or Residual Value.
+8. Opening Accumulated Depreciation: The accumulated depreciation amount which has already been booked for an existing asset.
+9. Current Value (After Depreciation): In case you are creating record of an existing asset which has already been partially/fully depreciated, mention the current value of the asset. In case of new asset, mention the purchase amount or leave it blank.
+10. Depreciation Method: There are two options: Straight Line and Double Declining Balance.
+	- Straight Line: This method spreads the cost of the fixed asset evenly over its useful life.
+	- Double Declining Method: An accelerated method of depreciation, it results in higher depreciation expense in the earlier years of ownership.
+10. Total Number of Depreciations: The total number of depreciations during the useful life. In case of existing assets which are partially depreciated, mention the number of pending depreciations.
+11. Number of Depreciations Booked: Enter the number of already booked depreciations for an existing asset.
+12. Frequency of Depreciation (Months): The number of months between two depreciations.
+13. Next Depreciation Date: Mention the next depreciation date, even if it is the first one. If the asset is an existing one and depreciation has already been completed, leave it blank.

+To get started with multi-currency accounting, you need to assign accounting currency in Account record. You can define Currency from Chart of Accounts while creating Account.
+
+<img class="screenshot" alt="Set Currency from Chart of Accounts"  	src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/accounts/multi-currency/chart-of-accounts.png">
+
+You can also assign / modify the currency by opening specific Account record for existing Accounts.
+
+<img class="screenshot" alt="Modify Account Currency"  	src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/accounts/multi-currency/account.png">
+
+For Customer / Supplier (Party), you can also define it's billing currency in the Party record. If the Party's accounting currency is different from Company Currency, you should mention Default Receivable / Payable Account in that currency.
+
+<img class="screenshot" alt="Customer Accounting Currency"  	src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/accounts/multi-currency/customer.png">
+
+
+Once you defined Currency in the Account and selected relevant accounts in the Party record , you are ready to make transactions against them. If Party account currency is different from Company Currency, system will restrict to make transaction for that party with that currency only. If account currency is same as Company Currency, you can make transactions for that Party in any currency. But accounting entries (GL Entries) will always be in Party Account Currency.
+
+You can change accounting currency in Party / Account record, until making any transactions against them. After making accounting entries, system will not allow to change the currency for both Party / Account record.
+
+In case of multi-company setup, accounting currency of Party must be same for all the companies.
+
+## Transactions
+
+### Sales Invoice
+
+In Sales Invoice, transaction currency must be same as accounting currency of Customer if Customer's accounting currency is other than Company Currency. Otherwise, you can select any currency in Invoice. On selection of Customer, system will fetch Receivable account from Customer / Company. The currency of receivable account must be same as Customer's accounting currency.
+
+Now, in POS, Paid Amount will be entered in transaction currency, instead of earlier Company Currency. Write Off Amount will also be entered in transaction currency.
+
+Outstanding Amount and Advance Amount will always be calculated and shown in Customer's Account Currency.
+
+<img class="screenshot" alt="Sales Invoice Outstanding"  	src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/accounts/multi-currency/sales-invoice.png">
+
+### Purchase Invoice
+
+Similarly, in Purchase Invoice, accounting entries will be made based on Supplier's accounting currency. Outstanding Amount and Advance Amount will also be shown in the supplier's accounting currency. Write Off Amount will now be entered in transaction currency.
+
+### Journal Entry
+
+In Journal Entry, you can make transactions in different currencies. There is a checkbox "Multi Currency", to enable multi-currency entries. If "Multi Currency" option selected, you will be able to select accounts with different currencies.
+
+<img class="screenshot" alt="Journal Entry Exchange Rate"  	src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/accounts/multi-currency/journal-entry-multi-currency.png">
+
+ 
+In Accounts table, on selection of foreign currency account, system will show Currency section and fetch Account Currency and Exchange Rate automatically. You can change / modify the Exchange Rate later manually. Debit / Credit amount should be entered in Account Currency, system will calculate and show the Debit / Credit amount in Company Currency automatically.
+
+<img class="screenshot" alt="Journal Entry in multi currency"  	src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/accounts/multi-currency/journal-entry-row.png">
+
+#### Example 1: Payment Entry  Against Customer With Alternate Currency
+
+Suppose, default currency of the company is INR and customer's accounting currency is USD. Customer made full payment against an outstanding invoice of USD 100. Exchange Rate (USD -> INR) in Sales Invoice was 60.
+
+Exchange Rate in the payment entry should always be same as invoice (60), even if exchange rate on the payment date is 62. The bank account will be credited by the amount considering exchange rate as 62. Hence, Exchnage Gain / Loss will be booked based on exchange rate difference.
+
+<img class="screenshot" alt="Payment Entry"  	src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/accounts/multi-currency/payment-entry.png">
+
+#### Example 2: Inter-bank Transfer (USD -> INR)
+
+Suppose the default currency of the company is INR. You have a Paypal account for which Currency is USD. You receive payments in the paypal account and lets say, paypal transfers amount once in a week to your other bank account which is managed in INR. 
+
+Paypal account gets debited on different date with different exchange rate, but on transfer date the exchange rate can be different. Hence, there is generally Exchange Loss / Gain on the transfer entry.
+In the bank transfer entry, system sets exchange rate of the credit account (Paypal) based on the average incoming exchange rate. This is to maintain Paypal balance properly in company currency. In case you modify the average exchange rate, you need to adjust the exchange rate manually in the future entries, so that balance in account currency and company currency are in sync.
+Then you should calculate and enter Exchange Loss / Gain based on the Paypal exchange rate and the exchange rate on the transfer date.
+
+Lets say, Paypal account debited by following amounts over the week, which has not been transferred to your other bank account.
+
+<table class="table table-bordered">
+	<thead>
+		<tr>
+			<td>Date</td>
+			<td>Account</td>
+			<td>Debit (USD)</td>
+			<td>Exchange Rate</td>
+		</tr>
+	</thead>
+	<tbody>
+		<tr>
+			<td>2015-09-02</td>
+			<td>Paypal</td>
+			<td>100</td>
+			<td>60</td>

+		<tr>
+			<td>2015-09-02</td>
+			<td>Paypal</td>
+			<td>100</td>
+			<td>64</td>
+		</tr>
+	</tbody>
+</table>
+
+
+Suppose, Exchange Rate on the payment date is 62 and Bank Transfer Entry will be look like below:
+
+<img class="screenshot" alt="Inter Bank Transfer"  	src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/accounts/multi-currency/bank-transfer.png">
+
+
+## Reports
+
+### General Ledger
+
+In General Ledger, system shows debit / credit amount in both currency if filtered by an Account and Account Currency is different from Company Currency.
+
+<img class="screenshot" alt="General Ledger Report"  	src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/accounts/multi-currency/general-ledger.png">
+
+### Accounts Receivable / Payable

+#Updating Opening Balance in Accounts
+
+If you are a new company you can start using ERPNext accounting module by going to chart of accounts. However, if you are migrating from a legacy accounting system like Tally or a Fox Pro based software
+
+We recommend that you start using accounting in a new financial year, but you could start midway too. To setup your accounts, you will need the following for the “day” you start using accounting in ERPNext:
+
+* Opening capital accounts - like your shareholder’s (or owner’) capital, loans, bank balances on that day.
+
+* List of outstanding sales and purchase invoices (Payables and Receivables).
+
+If you were using another accounting software before, firstly you should close financial statements in that software. The closing balance of the accounts should be updated as an opening balance in the ERPNext. Before starting to update opening balance, ensure that your [Chart of Accounts]({{docs_base_url}}/user/manual/en/accounts/chart-of-accounts.html) has all the Accounts required.
+
+> Opening entry is only for Balance Sheet accounts and not for the Accounts in the Profit and Loss statement.
+
+  * For all assets (excluding Accounts Receivables): This entry will contain all your assets except the amounts you are expecting from your Customers against outstanding Sales Invoices. You will have to update your receivables by making an individual entry for each Invoice (this is because, the system will help you track the invoices which are yet to be paid). You can credit the sum of all these debits against the **Temporary Opening** account.
+  
+  * For all liabilities: Similarly you need to pass a Journal Entry for your Opening Liabilities (except for the bills you have to pay) against **Temporary Opening** account.
+
+###Opening Entry
+
+####Step 1: New Journal Entry
+
+To open new Journal Entry, go to:
+
+`Explore > Accounts > Journal Entry`
+
+####Step 2: Entry Type
+
+If Entry Type is selected as Opening Entry, all the Balance Sheet Accounts will be auto-fetched in the Journal Entry.
+
+<img class="screenshot" alt="Opening Account" src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/accounts/opening-account-1.png">
+
+####Step 3: Posting Date
+
+Select Posting Date on which Accounts Opening Balance will be updated.
+
+####Step 4: Enter Debit/Credit Value
+
+For each Account, enter opening value in the Debit or Credit column. As per the double entry valuation system, Total Debit value in a entry must be equal to Total Credit value.
+
+<img class="screenshot" alt="Opening Account" src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/accounts/opening-6.png">
+
+####Step 5: Is Opening
+
+Set field `Is Opening` as `Yes`.
+
+<img class="screenshot" alt="Opening Account" src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/accounts/opening-3.png">
+
+####Step 6: Save and Submit
+
+After enter opening balance for each account, Save and Submit Journal Entry. To check if Opening Balance for an account is updated correctly, you can check Trial Balance report.
+
+###Selecting Accounts Manually
+
+If your Balance Sheet has many Accounts, then updating Account Opening balance from single Journal Entry can lead to performance issues. In such a scenario, you can multiple Journal Entries to update opening balance in all the Accounts.
+
+If you are updating account opening balance in few accounts at a time, you can use **Temporary Opening** account for balancing purpose. In the standard chart of accounts, a Temporary Opening Account is auto-created under Assets.
+
+<img class="screenshot" alt="Opening Account" src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/accounts/opening-7.png">
+
+In the Journal Entry, manually select an Account for which opening balance is to be updated. For each Account, enter opening balance value in the Debit or Credit column, based on it's Account Type (Asset or Liability).
+
+For example, if you want to update balance in bank accounts, create Journal Entry as following.
+
+<img class="screenshot" alt="Opening Account" src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/accounts/opening-2.png">
+
+Once all your invoices are entered, your **Temporary Opening** account will have a balance of zero!
+
+###Trial Balance
+
+After completing the accounting entries, the trial balance report will look like the one given below:
+
+<img class="screenshot" alt="Opening Account" src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/accounts/opening-4.png">
+
+###Stock Opening
+
+To track stock balance in the Chart of Account, an Account is created for each Warehouse.
+
+`Chart of Accounts > Assets > Current Asset > StocK Assets > (Warehouse Account)`
+
+<img class="screenshot" alt="Opening Account" src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/accounts/opening-5.png">
+
+To update stock opening balance, create [Stock Reconciliation entry]({{docs_base_url}}/user/manual/en/stock/opening-stock.html). Based on the valuation of items's update in the Warehouse, balance will be updated in the Warehouse account.
+
+###Fixed Asset Opening
+
+Opening balance for the fixed asset account should be updated via Journal Entry. Assets which are not fully depreciated should be added in the [Asset master]({{docs_base_url}}/user/manual/en/accounts/managing-fixed-assets.html). For adding Assets in your possession, ensure to check **Is Existing Asset** field.
+
+### Outstanding Invoices
+
+After opening Journal Entries are made, you will need to enter each Sales Invoice and Purchase Invoice that is yet to be paid.
+
+Since you have already booked the income or expense on these invoices in the previous period, select **Temporary Opening** in the “Income” and “Expense” accounts.
+
+> Note: Make sure to set each invoice as “Is Opening”!
+
+If you don’t care what items are in that invoice, just make a dummy item entry in the Invoice. Item code in the Invoice is not necessary, so it should not be such a problem.

+
+<img class="screenshot" alt="Making Payment" src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/accounts/payment-entry-3.png">
+
+####Step 4: Allocate Amount
+
+If creating Payment Entry for the Customer, Payment Amount will be allocated against Sales Invoice.
+
+<img class="screenshot" alt="Making Payment" src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/accounts/payment-entry-4.gif">
+
+On the same lines, when creating Payment Entry for a Supplier, Payment Amount will be allocated against Purchase Invoice.
+
+You Entry can be created directly from `Account > Payment Entry > New`. In the new entry, on selection of the Party (Customer/Supplier), all the outstanding Invoices and open Orders will be fetched for party. The Payment Amount will be auto-allocated, preferably against invoice.
+
+####Step 5: Deductions
+
+When making payment entry, there could be some difference in the actual payment amount and the invoice outstanding. This difference could be due to rounding error, or change in the currency exchange rate. You can set an Account here where this difference amount will be booked.
+
+<img class="screenshot" alt="Making Payment" src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/accounts/payment-entry-5.gif">

+
+If payment entry was created against Sales Order or Purchase Order, field Advance Paid will be updated in them. when creating Payment invoice against those transactions, Payment Entry will auto-update in that Invoice, so that you can allocate invoice amount against advance payment entry.
+
+For incoming payment, accounts posting will be done as following.
+
+  * Debit: Bank or Cash Account
+  * Credit: Customer (Debtor)
+
+For outgoing payment:
+
+  * Debit: Supplier (Creditor)
+  * Credit: Bank or Cash Account
+
+###Multi Currency Payment Entry
+
+ERPNext allows you maintain accounts and invoicing in the [multiple currency]({{docs_base_url}}/user/manual/en/accounts/multi-currency-accounting.html). If invoice is made in the party currency, Currency Exchange Rate between companies base currency and party currency is also entered in the invoice. When creating Payment Entry against that invoice, you will again have to mention the Currency Exchange Rate at the time of payment.
+
+<img class="screenshot" alt="Making Payment" src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/accounts/payment-entry-6.png">
+
+Since Currency Exchange Rate is fluctuating all the time, it can lead to difference in the payment amount against invoice total. This difference amount can be booked in the Currency Exchange Gain/Loss Amount.
+
+<img class="screenshot" alt="Making Payment" src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/accounts/payment-entry-7.png">
+
+Payments can also be made independent of invoices by creating a new Payment Entry.
+
+###Internal Intransfer
+
+Following internal transfers can be managed from the Payment Entry.
+
+1. Bank - Cash
+2. Cash - Bank
+3. Cash - Cash
+4. Bank - Bank
+
+<img class="screenshot" alt="Making Payment" src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/accounts/payment-entry-9.png">
+
+###Difference between Payment Entry and Journal Entry?
+
+ 1. Journal Entry requires understanding of which Account will get Debited or Credited. In the Payment Entry, it is managed in the backend, hence simpler for the User.
+ 2. Payment Entry is more efficient in managing payment in the foreign currency.
+ 3. Journal Entry can still be used for:
+	- Updating opening balance in an Accounts.
+	- Fixed Asset Depreciation entry.
+	- For adjusting Credit Note against Sales Invoice and Debit Note against Purchase Invoice, incase there is no payment happening at all.
+
+* * *
+
+## Managing Outstanding Payments
+
+In most cases, apart from retail sales, billing and payments are separate activities. There are several combinations in which these payments are done. These cases apply to both sales and purchases.
+
+  * They can be upfront (100% in advance).
+  * Post shipment. Either on delivery or within a few days of delivery.
+  * Part in advance and part on or post delivery.
+  * Payments can be made together for a bunch of invoices.
+  * Advances can be given together for a bunch of invoices (and can be split across invoices).
+
+ERPNext allows you to manage all these scenarios. All accounting entries (GL Entry) can be made against a Sales Invoice, Purchase Invoice or Payment Entry of advance payment (in special cases, an invoice can be made via a Sales Invoice too).
+
+The total outstanding amount against an invoice is the sum of all the accounting entries that are made “against” (or are linked to) that invoice. This way you can combine or split payments in Payment Entry to manage the
+scenarios.

+
+###Offline POS
+
+In the retails business, invoicing needs to done very quickly, hence should less dependency. In the ERPNext, you can create POS Invoices, even when not connected to the internet.
+
+POS Invoices created in the offline mode will be saved locally in the browser. If internet connection is lost which creating POS Invoice, you will still be able can proceed forward. Once internet connection is available again, offline invoices will be synced, and pushed onto your ERPNext account. To learn more on how POS Invoices can be created when offline, [check here.](https://frappe.io/blog/blog/erpnext-features/offline-pos-in-erpnext-7)
+
+#### POS Profile
+
+In ERPNext all Sales and Purchase transactions, like Sales Invoice, Quotation, Sales Order, Purchase Order etc. can be edited via the POS. There two steps to Setup POS:
+
+1. Enable POS View via (Setup > Customize > Feature Setup)
+2. Create a [POS Setting]({{docs_base_url}}/user/manual/en/setting-up/pos-setting.html) record
+
+#### Different sections of the POS
+
+  * Update Stock: If this is checked, Stock Ledger Entries will be made when you “Submit” this Sales Invoice thereby eliminating the need for a separate Delivery Note.
+  * In your Items table, update inventory information like Warehouse (saved as default), Serial Number, or Batch Number if applicable.
+  * Update Payment Details like your Bank / Cash Account, Paid amount etc.
+  * If you are writing off certain amount. For example when you receive extra cash as a result of not having exact denomination of change, check on ‘Write off Outstanding Amount’ and set the Account.
+
+
+### Customer
+
+In POS, user can select the existing customer during making an order or create the new customer. This features works in the offline mode also. User can also add the customer details like contact number, address details etc on the form. The customer which has been created from the POS will be synced when the internet connection is active.

+4. Customers balonging to specific Customer Group should get ### selling price, ot % of Discount on Items.
+
+5. Supplier's categorized under specific Supplier Type should have ### buying rate applied.
+
+To have %Discount and Price List Rate for an Item auto-applied, you should create Pricing Rules for it.
+
+Pricing Rule master has two sections:
+
+### 1. Applicability Section:
+
+In this section, conditions are set for the application of Pricing Rule. When transaction meets condition as specified in this section, Price or Discount as specified in the Pricing Rule will be applied. You can set condition on following values.
+
+####1.1 Applicable On:
+
+<img alt="Applicable On" class="screenshot" src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/articles/pricing-rule-on.png">
+
+If you want Pricing Rule to be applied on all the items, select based on Item Group. For value, select **All Item Group** (parent Item Group).
+
+####1.2 Applicable For:
+
+Applicability option will updated based on our selection for Selling or Buying or both. You can set applicability on one of the following master.

+####2.1 Price
+
+Price or Discount specified in the Pricing Rule will be applied only if above applicability rules are matched with values in the transaction. Price mentioned in Pricing Rule will be given priority over item's Price List rate.
+
+<img alt="Applicable Price" class="screenshot" src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/articles/pricing-rule-price.png">
+
+#### 2.2 Discount Percentage
+
+Discount Percentage can be applied for a specific Price List. To have it applied for all the Price List, %Discount field should be left blank.
+
+<img alt="Discount" class="screenshot" src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/articles/pricing-rule-discount.png">
+
+If %Discount is to be applied on all Price Lists, then leave Price List field blank.

+
+#### Priority
+
+If two or more Pricing Rules are found based on same conditions, Priority is applied. Priority is a number between 0 to 20 while default value is zero (blank). Higher number means it will take precedence if there are multiple Pricing Rules with same conditions.

+Purchase Invoice is the exact opposite of your Sales Invoice. It is the bill
+that your Supplier sends you for products or services delivered. Here you
+accrue expenses to your Supplier. Making a Purchase Invoice is very similar to
+making a Purchase Order.
+
+To make a new Purchase Invoice:
+> type "new purchase invoice" into the search bar then select "New Purchase 
+Invoice" from the drop down
+
+or click on “Make Purchase Invoice” in Purchase Order or Purchase Receipt.
+
+You can also create a Purchase Invoice from:
+> Accounts > Billing > Purchase Invoice > New Purchase Invoice
+
+<img class="screenshot" alt="Purchase Invoice" src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/accounts/purchase-invoice.png">
+
+The concept of “Posting Date” is again same as Sales Invoice. “Bill No” and
+“Bill Date” helps to track the bill number as set by your Supplier for
+reference.
+
+#### Is Paid option
+The **Is Paid** checkbox should be checked if there is a part or full payment 
+on the invoice at posting date.
+
+#### Update Stock
+The **Update Stock** checkbox should be checked if you want ERPNext to automatically
+ update your inventory. Consequently, there will be no need for a Delivery Note.
+
+#### Accounting Impact
+
+Like in Sales Invoice, you have to enter an Expense or an Asset account for
+each row in your Items table. This helps to indicate if the Item is an Asset
+or an Expense. You must also enter a Cost Center. These can also be set in the
+Item master.
+
+The Purchase Invoice will affect your accounts as follows:
+
+Accounting entries (GL Entry) for a typical double entry “purchase”:
+
+Debits:
+
+  * Expense or Asset (net totals, excluding taxes)
+  * Taxes (/assets if VAT-type or expense again).
+
+Credits:
+
+  * Supplier
+  
+##### Accounting Treatment When **Is Paid** is checked
+If **Is Paid** is checked, ERPNext will also make the following
+accounting entries:
+
+Debits:
+
+  * Supplier
+  
+Credits:
+  * Bank/Cash Account
+  
+To see entries in your Purchase Invoice after you “Submit”, click on “View
+Ledger”.
+
+* * *
+
+#### Is purchase an “Expense” or an “Asset”?
+
+If the Item is consumed immediately on purchase, or if it is a service, then
+the purchase becomes an “Expense”. For example, a telephone bill or travel
+bill is an “Expense” - it is already consumed.
+
+For inventory Items, that have a value, these purchases are not yet “Expense”,
+because they still have a value while they remain in your stock. They are
+“Assets”. If they are raw-materials (used in a process), they will become
+“Expense” the moment they are consumed in the process. If they are to be sold
+to a Customer, they become “Expense” when you ship them to the Customer.
+
+* * *
+
+#### Deducting Taxes at Source
+
+In many countries, the law may require you to deduct taxes, while paying your
+suppliers. These taxes could be based on a standard rate. Under these type of
+schemes, typically if a Supplier crosses a certain threshold of payment, and
+if the type of product is taxable, you may have to deduct some tax (which you
+pay back to your government, on your Supplier’s behalf).
+
+To do this, you will have to make a new Tax Account under “Tax Liabilities” or
+similar and credit this Account by the percent you are bound to deduct for
+every transaction.
+
+For more help, please contact your Accountant!

+#Recurring Orders and Invoices
+
+If you have a contract with a **Customer** where you bill the Customer on a monthly, quarterly, half-yearly or annual basis, you should use recurring feature in orders and invoices. 
+
+#### Scenario:
+
+Subscription for your hosted ERPNext account requires yearly renewal. We use Sales Order for generating proforma invoices. To automate proforma invoicing for renewal, we set original Sales Order as recurring. Recurring proforma invoice is created automatically just before customer's account is about to expire, and requires renewal. This recurring Proforma Invoice is also emailed automatically to the customer.
+
+Feature of setting document as recurring is available in Sales Order, Sales Invoice, Purchase Order and Purchase Invoice.
+
+Option to set document as recurring will be visible only after submission. Recurring is last section in document. Check **Is Recurring** to set document as recurring.
+
+<img alt="Recurring Invoice" class="screenshot" src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/accounts/recurring.gif">
+
+**From Date and To Date:** This defines contract period with the customer.
+
+**Repeat on the Day of Month:** If recurring type is set as Monthly, then it will be day of the month on which recurring invoice will be generated.
+
+**End Date:** Date after which auto-creation of recurring invoice will be stopped.
+
+**Notification Email Address:** Email Addresses (separated by comma) on which recurring invoice will be emailed when auto-generated.
+
+**Recurring ID:** Recurring ID will be original document id which will be linked to all corresponding recurring document. For example, original Sales Invoice's id will be updated into all recurring Sales Invoices.
+
+**Recurring Print Format:** Select a print format to define document view which should be emailed to customer.
+
+####Exception Handling:
+
+In a situation where recurring invoice is not created successfully, user with System Manager role is notified about it via email. Also the document on which recurring event failed, "Is Recurring" field is unchecked for it. This means system doesn't try creating recurring invoice for that document again.
+	
+Failure in creation of recurring invoice could be due to multiple reasons like wrong Email Address mentioned in the Email Notification field in Recurring section etc.
+
+On receipt of notification, if cause of failure is fixed (like correcting Email Address) within 24 hours, then recurring invoice will be generated automatically. If issue is not fixed within the said time, then document should be created for that month/year manually.

+A Sales Invoice is a bill that you send to your customers, against which the customer processes the payment. Sales Invoice is an accounting transaction. On submission of Sales Invoice,  the system updates the receivable and books income against a Customer Account.
+
+You can create a Sales Invoice directly from
+
+> Accounts > Billing > Sales Invoice > New Sales Invoice
+
+or you can Make a new Sales Invoice after you submit the Delivery Note.
+
+<img class="screenshot" alt="Sales Invoice" src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/accounts/sales-invoice.png">
+
+#### Accounting Impact
+
+All Sales must be booked against an “Income Account”. This refers to an
+Account in the “Income” section of your Chart of Accounts. It is a good
+practice to classify your income by type (like product income, service income
+etc). The Income Account must be set for each row of the Items table.
+
+> Tip: To set default Income Accounts for Items, you can set it in the Item or
+Item Group.
+
+The other account that is affected is the Account of the Customer. That is
+automatically set from “Debit To” in the heading section.
+
+You must also mention the Cost Centers in which your Income must be booked.
+Remember that your Cost Centers tell you the profitability of the different
+lines of business or product. You can also set a default Cost Center in the
+Item master.
+
+#### Accounting entries (GL Entry) for a typical double entry “Sale”:
+
+When booking a sale (accrual):
+
+**Debit:** Customer (grand total) **Credit:** Income (net total, minus taxes for each Item) **Credit:** Taxes (liabilities to be paid to the government)
+
+> To see entries in your Sales Invoice after you “Submit”, click on “View
+Ledger”.
+
+#### Dates
+
+Posting Date: The date on which the Sales Invoice will affect your books of
+accounts i.e. your General Ledger. This will affect all your balances in that
+accounting period.
+
+Due Date: The date on which the payment is due (if you have sold on credit).
+This can be automatically set from the Customer master.
+
+#### Recurring Invoices
+
+If you have a contract with a Customer where you bill the Customer on a
+monthly, quarterly, half-yearly or annual basis, you can check the “Recurring
+Invoice” box. Here you can fill in the details of how frequently you want to
+bill this Invoice and the period for which the contract is valid.
+
+ERPNext will automatically create new Invoices and mail it to the Email Addresses
+you set.
+
+#### POS Invoices
+
+Consider a scenario where retail transaction is carried out. For e.g: A retail shop.
+If you check the **Is POS** checkbox, then all your **POS Profile** data is fetched
+into the Sales Invoice and you can easily make payments.
+Also, if you check the **Update Stock** the stock will also update automatically,
+without the need of a Delivery Note.
+
+<img class="screenshot" alt="POS Invoice" src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/accounts/pos-sales-invoice.png">
+
+#### Billing Timesheet with Project
+
+If you want to bill employees working on Projects on hourly basis (contract based),
+they can fill out Timesheets which consists their billing rate. When you make a new
+Sales Invoice, select the Project for which the billing is to be made, and the
+corresponding Timesheet entries for that Project will be fetched.
+
+<img class="screenshot" alt="POS Invoice" src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/accounts/billing-timesheet-sales-invoice.png">
+
+* * *
+
+#### "Pro Forma" Invoice
+
+If you want to give an Invoice to a Customer to make a payment before you
+deliver, i.e. you operate on a payment first basis, you should create a
+Quotation and title it as a “Pro-forma Invoice” (or something similar) using
+the Print Heading feature.
+
+“Pro Forma” means for formality. Why do this? Because if you book a Sales
+Invoice it will show up in your “Accounts Receivable” and “Income”. This is
+not ideal as your Customer may or may not decide to pay up. But since your
+Customer wants an “Invoice”, you could give the Customer a Quotation (in
+ERPNext) titled as “Pro Forma Invoice”. This way everyone is happy.
+
+This is a fairly common practice. We follow this at Frappe too.

+Your Chart of Accounts is mainly designed to provide reports to the government
+and tax authorities. Most businesses have multiple activities like different
+product lines, market segments, areas of business, etc that share some common
+overheads. They should ideally have their own structure to report, whether they
+are profitable or not. For this purpose, there is an alternate structure,
+called the Chart of Cost Centers.
+
+### Cost Center
+
+You can create a tree of Cost Centers to represent your business better. Each
+Income / Expense entry is also tagged against a Cost Center.
+
+For example, if you have two types of sales:
+
+  * Walk-in Sales
+  * Online Sales
+
+You may not have shipping expenses for your walk-in customers, and no shop-
+rent for your online customers. If you want to get the profitability of each
+of these separately, you should create the two as Cost Centers and mark all
+sales as either "Walk-in" or "Online". Mark your all your purchases in the
+same way.
+
+Thus when you do your analysis you get a better understanding as to which side
+of your business is doing better. Since ERPNext has an option to add multiple
+Companies, you can create Cost Centers for each Company and manage it
+separately.

+A fiscal year is also known as a financial year or a budget year. It is used
+for calculating financial statements in businesses and other organisations.
+The fiscal year may or may not be the same as a calendar year. For tax
+purposes, companies can choose to be calendar-year taxpayers or fiscal-year
+taxpayers. In many jurisdictions, regulatory laws regarding accounting and
+taxation require such reports once per twelve months. However, it is not
+mandatory that the period should be a calendar year (that is, 1 January to 31
+December).
+
+A fiscal year usually starts at the beginning of a quarter, such as April 1,
+July 1 or October 1. However, most companies' fiscal year also coincides with
+the calendar year, which starts January 1. For the most part, it is simpler
+and easier that way. For some organizations, there are advantages in starting
+the fiscal year at a different time. For example, businesses that are seasonal
+might start their fiscal year on July 1 or October 1. A business that has most
+of its income in the fall and most of its expenses in the spring might also
+choose to start its fiscal year on October 1. That way, they know what their
+income will be for that year, and can adjust their expenses to maintain their

+### Bank Reconciliation Statement
+
+If you are receiving payments or making payments via cheques, the bank statements will not accurately match the dates of your entry, this is because the bank usually takes time to “clear” these payments. Also you may have mailed a cheque to your Supplier and it may be a few days before it is received and deposited by the Supplier. In ERPNext you can synchronise your bank statements and your Journal Entries using the “Bank Reconciliation” tool.
+
+The Bank Reconciliation Report provide the difference between the bank balance shown in an organisation's bank statement, as provided by the ban against amount shown in the companies Chart of Accounts.

+####Bank Reconciliation Statement

+In the report, check whether the field 'Balance as per bank' matches the Bank Account Statement. If it is matching, it means that Clearance Date is correctly updated for all the bank entries. If there is a mismatch, Its because of bank entries for which Cleanrane Date is not yet updated.

+**Closing Fiscal Year** will be an year for which you are closing your financial statement.
+
+<img class="screenshot" alt="Period Closing Voucher" src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/accounts/period-closing-voucher.png">
+
+This voucher will transfer Profit or Loss (availed from P&L statment) to Closing Account Head. You should select a liability account like Reserves and Surplus, or Capital Fund account as Closing Account.

+#Maintaining Supplier's Item Code in the Item master
+
+For each item, code assigned might differ from the code your supplier has given to that same item. ERPNext allows you to track Supplier's Item Code in the item master. Also you can fetch Supplier's Item Code in your purchase transactions, so that they can easily recognize item referring to their Item Code.
+
+#### 1. Updating Supplier Item Code In Item
+
+In the Item master, under Supplier Details section, enter Item Code as given by the Supplier to this item.
+
+<img alt="Supplier Item Code" class="screenshot" src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/articles/supplier-item-code.png">
+
+#### 2. Supplier's Item Code in Transactions
+
+Each purchase transaction has field in the Item table where Supplier's Item Code is fetched. This field is hidden in form as well as in the Standard print format. You can make it visible by changing property for this field from [Customize Form.]({{docs_base_url}}/user/manual/en/customize-erpnext/customize-form.html)
+
+Supplier Item Code will only be fetched in the purchase transaction, if both Supplier and Item Code selected in purchase transaction is mapped with value mentioned in the Item master.

+#Pull Items in Purchase Order based on Supplier
+
+**Question:**
+
+Our Material Request has many items, each purchased from different suppliers. How to pull items from all open Material Request which are to be purchased from common Supplier?
+
+**Answer:**
+
+To pull items from Material Request for specific Supplier only, follow below given steps.
+
+####Step 1:  Default Supplier
+
+Update Default Supplier in the Item master.
+
+<img alt="Item Purchase UoM" class="screenshot" src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/articles/for-supplier-2.png">
+
+####Step 2:  New Purchase Order
+
+`Buying > Document > Purchase Order > New`
+
+####Step 3:  Select for Supplier
+
+From the options available to pull data in the Purchase Order, click on `For Supplier`.
+
+<img alt="Item Purchase UoM" class="screenshot" src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/articles/for-supplier-1.gif">
+
+####Step 4: Get Items
+
+Select Supplier name and click on `Get`.
+
+<img alt="Item Purchase UoM" class="screenshot" src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/articles/for-supplier-3.png">
+
+####Step 5: Edit Items
+
+All the items associated with a Material Request and having the default Supplier will be fetched in the Items Table. You can further edit items to enter rate, qty etc. Also items which are not to be ordered can be removed from Item table.

+#Purchasing in Different Unit (UoM)
+
+Each item has stock unit of measument (UoM) associated to it. For example UoM of pen could be numbers (Nos) and sand could be stocked kgs. However, when we place an order with Supplier, UoM for an item could change. Like we can order 1 set/box of Pen, or one truck of sand to our Supplier. When creating purchase transacton, you can change Purchase UoM for an item.
+
+### Scenario:
+
+Item `Pen` is stocked in Nos, but purchased in Box. Hence we will make Purchase Order for Pen in Box.
+
+#### Step 1: Edit UoM in the Purchase Order
+
+In the Purchase Order, you will find two UoM fied.
+
+- UoM
+- Stock UoM
+
+In both the fields, default UoM of an item will be fetched by default. You should edit UoM field, and select Purchase UoM (Box in this case). Updating Purchase UoM is mainly for the reference of the supplier. In the print format, you will see item qty in the Purchase UoM.
+
+<img alt="Item Purchase UoM" class="screenshot" src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/articles/editing-uom-in-po.gif">
+
+#### Step 2: Update UoM Conversion Factors
+
+In one Box, if you get 20 Nos. of Pen, UoM Conversion Factor would be 20.
+
+<img alt="Item Conversion Factor" class="screenshot" src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/articles/po-conversion-factor.png">
+
+Based on the Qty and Conversion Factor, qty will be calculated in the Stock UoM of an item. If you purchase just one Box, then Qty in the stock UoM will be set as 20.
+
+<img alt="Purchase Qty in Default UoM" class="screenshot" src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/articles/po-qty-in-stock-uom.png">
+
+### Stock Ledger Posting
+
+Irrespective of the Purchase UoM selected, stock ledger posting will be done in the Default UoM of an item. Hence you should ensure that conversion factor is entered correctly while purchasing item in different UoM.
+
+<img alt="Print Format in Purchase UoM" class="screenshot" src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/articles/po-stock-uom-ledger.png">
+
+### Set Conversion Factor in Item

+A Purchase Order is analogous to a Sales Order. It is usually a binding
+contract with your Supplier that you promise to buy a set of Items under the
+given conditions.
+
+A Purchase Order can be automatically created from a Material Request or
+Supplier Quotation.
+
+#### Purchase Order Flow Chart
+
+![Purchase Order]({{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/buying/buying_flow.png)
+
+In ERPNext, you can also make a Purchase Order directly by going to:
+
+> Buying > Documents > Purchase Order > New Purchase Order
+
+#### Create Purchase Order
+
+<img class="screenshot" alt="Purchase Order" src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/buying/purchase-order.png">
+
+Entering a Purchase Order is very similar to a Purchase Request, additionally
+you will have to set:
+
+  * Supplier.
+  * A “Required By” date on each Item: If you are expecting part delivery, your Supplier will know how much quantity to deliver at which date. This will help you from preventing over-supply. It will also help you to track how well your Supplier is doing on timeliness.
+
+### Taxes
+
+If your Supplier is going to charge you additional taxes or charge like a
+shipping or insurance charge, you can add it here. It will help you to
+accurately track your costs. Also, if some of these charges add to the value
+of the product you will have to mention them in the Taxes table. You can also
+use templates for your taxes. For more information on setting up your taxes
+see the Purchase Taxes and Charges Template.
+
+### Value Added Taxes (VAT)
+
+Many a times, the tax paid by you to a Supplier, for an Item, is the same tax
+which you collect from your Customer. In many regions, what you pay to your
+government is only the difference between what you collect from your Customer
+and what you pay to your Supplier. This is called Value Added Tax (VAT).
+
+#### Add Taxes in Purchase Order
+<img class="screenshot" alt="Purchase Order" src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/buying/add_taxes_to_doc.png">
+
+#### Show Tax break-up
+<img class="screenshot" alt="Purchase Order" src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/buying/show_tax_breakup.png">
+
+For example you buy Items worth X and sell them for 1.3X. So your Customer
+pays 1.3 times the tax you pay your Supplier. Since you have already paid tax
+to your Supplier for X, what you owe your government is only the tax on 0.3X.
+
+This is very easy to track in ERPNext since each tax head is also an Account.
+Ideally you must create two Accounts for each type of VAT you pay and collect,
+“Purchase VAT-X” (asset) and “Sales VAT-X” (liability), or something to that
+effect. Please contact your accountant if you need more help or post a query
+on our forums!
+
+
+
+#### Purchase UOM and Stock UOM Conversion
+
+You can change your UOM as per your stock requirements in the Purchase Order
+form.
+
+For example, If you have bought your raw material in large quantities with UOM
+-boxes, and wish to stock them in UOM- Nos; you can do so while making your
+Purchase Order.
+
+__Step 1:__ Store UOM as Nos in the Item form.
+
+Note: The UOM in the Item form is the stock UOM.
+
+__Step 2:__ In the Purchase Order mention UOM as Box. (Since material arrives in
+Boxes)
+
+__Step 3:__ In the Warehouse and Reference section, the UOM will be pulled in as
+Nos (from the Item form)
+
+#### Figure 3: Conversion of Purchase UOM to stock UOM
+
+
+<img class="screenshot" alt="Purchase Order - UOM" src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/buying/purchase-order-uom.png">
+
+__Step 4:__ Mention the UOM conversion factor. For example, (100);If one box has
+100 pieces.  
+
+__Step 5:__  Notice that the stock quantity will be updated accordingly.
+
+__Step 6:__ Save and Submit the Form.

+When a Supplier is saved, system generates a unique identity or name for that Supplier which can be used to refer the Supplier in various Buying transactions.
+
+If not configured otherwise, ERPNext uses the Supplier's Name as the unique name. If you want to identify Suppliers using names like SUPP-00001, SUPP-00002, or such other patterned series, select the value of Supplier Naming By as "Naming Series".

+
+You can add multiple companies in your ERPNext instance, and one Supplier can be used across multiple companies. In this case, you should define Companywise Payable Account for the Supplier in the "Default Payable Accounts" table.
