Documentation: Bulk Supplier Ledger Entry

Introduction

The Bulk Supplier Ledger entry screen allows supplier payments to be applied to holidays without opening each individual Holiday Ledger tab .This make entry faster especially considering that supplier invoices may refer to multiple bookings, and the supplier invoices for a given booking will arrive at different times,

Note that since client payments typically require further actions beyond simply adding a ledger entry (maybe adding a Payment Method, and subsequently exporting an updated invoice) the Bulk Ledger entry does not support Client ledger entries - these must be created using the Holiday Ledger tab .

The Bulk Entry screen cannot be used for editing existing ledger entries, use the   Holiday Ledger tab  instead.

Usage

  1. Enter a booking reference into the Holiday field. The expected supplier payments will be retrieved and listed below
  2. Enter the fields as described below
  3. Press "Save Ledger"
  4. If an error message is shown, correct the error and try to save again
  5. The added item will be displayed at the top of the "Recently added" list
  6. The input form will be cleared, ready for the next ledger item to be entered

Currency

The key ledger values are entered in the Tour Operators sales currency. There is the option to also record the amount in another currency, for instance when a supplier is paid from a foreign bank account operating a different currency. Reports normally use the sales currency value.
By setting the F/X Rate  (which has a different value per supplier currency) a value entered into the Value (Sales currency) field will automatically update the Supplier Rec'd (alternate currency) field, and v.v. 
The F/X rate' s are not stored into the ledger entry, and are forgotten when the Bulk Ledger tab is closed, therefore for frequent users of the Bulk Ledger it is useful to keep the tab open.
