Basic System Concepts
Invoices
An invoice is an official document that proves a sale or purchase transaction. The system supports several types:
- Sales Invoice: When selling to a customer
- Purchase Invoice: When buying from a supplier
- Quotation: An offer to the customer before approval
- Return: Returning goods (sales or purchases)
Journal Entries
Every financial transaction in the system automatically creates a journal entry that includes:
- Debit: The account that increases (assets and expenses)
- Credit: The account that decreases (liabilities and revenues)

- Assets: What the company owns (cash, inventory, equipment)

- Equity: Capital and retained earnings
- Revenue: Company income from sales
- Expenses: Operating costs
