Quantum VS Help: System Administration |
The Sales Nominal Control record is used to assign nominal codes to sales transactions.
When a transaction - such as a Sales Invoice - is processed by Quantum VS, the appropriate nominal codes will be sent to the appropriate ledgers in whichever financial accounting system is being used, such as Quantum Financials. The control records define which nominal codes should be assigned to each line of the transaction.
Note: Before you set up the Sales Nominal Control record you will need to create your nominal codes using Nominal Code Maintenance.
To set up or edit the Sales Nominal Control record:
1. Either:
From the Home tab: under links, select more then select Sales Nominal Control.
Or: From the Toolbar Main Menu: select Edit then select Sales Nominal Control.
Or: Click the appropriate module on the Mega Menu (e.g. Finance), then under manage select Sales Nominal Control.
Your Sales Nominal Control record will open in a new tab.
2. To amend the record, select Amend from the Toolbar - Sub Menu.
The record is now active and ready for editing:
