Should I use My Sales (the sales ledger) to record sales?

  • My Sales is a very useful tool for recording sales. It allows you to
    • Analyse your sales by customer.
    • Analyse your sales by product or service.
    • Monitor which customers owe you money.
    • Search quickly for historic transactions.
    • Record the sale, even if the cash received from the sale is not banked
  • Therefore, we recommend that you record sales in My Sales, and certainly if one or more of the following apply:
    • You are VAT registered
    • You invoice your customers, and they owe you money
    • If you are in hospitality or retail, you want to reconcile sales to cash banked.
    • You want to maintain and analyse data about the products or services you have sold
    • Not all the money you receive from your customers goes through the business bank account.
  • Sales recorded in My sales appear in the Sales section in the By Category report and in the Profit & Loss Account report.
  • If you need more help, contact us through the comment box, and we will guide you through.
