Players
In the Free Accounting software product there are three main players:
  • Company
  • Vendor
  • Customer

  • The relationship between those three players are as follows:

    The items the Company wants to sell are stored in the Inventory list
    The Company purchases items from the Vendor .To buy the items the Company should create the Purchase Order (PO)
    According to the created PO the Vendor sends the items to the Company and the Purchase Order Receipt should be created (POR) . After the items are received the transaction (Receipt of Goods) will appear in the Company's Accounting book
    To sell the items the Company should have the list of the Customers who want to purchase them.
    The Company creates the Sales Order (SO) and then delivers the items. At the same moment the Company should create the Invoice for the Customer. When the Company delivers the items the trancsaction Invoice for Customer should appear in the Company's Accounting book .

    In the current tutorial you will be taken over all these steps how to do all common operations. For your help the Sample Database is created where you have a Vendor and a Customer as well as several items. You will use this information in the further lessons.
