transaction under query as well as any transactional notes that may have been recorded.

with numerous defaults to speed up the data entry process and ensure compliance
with agreed terms of business. For example, VAT can be applied automatically at
the standard rate but can be changed; and in the Purchase Ledger a ‘For Authorisation’
flag can be set automatically on invoice transactions over a certain value. When
