The custom templates (such as invoice, Purchase Order, Statement forms, etc.), reports, import map, and attachment are store in the Custom Plugins folder. You have to activate the Custom Plugins folder by clicking the ‘Make a Custom Plugins folder’ button from the Housekeeping navigator after you have created the company file. Once activated, the system adds the MoneyWorks Custom Plug-ins folder with subfolders for Forms, Import Maps, Picture for Company, Reports, and Scripts into the local drive automatically.

These custom forms, reports, etc. are on your local computer drive and have to upload to the Datacentre server or MoneyWorks Now (cloud) server to share with users.

Software: QuickBooks Desktop accounting software

Enter Credit-Bill when received a Credit Note from the vendor (supplier), the transaction debits the accounts payable and credit expense. If the vendor issue you a refund instead of offsetting against the outstanding bill, then a Make Deposit or a General Journal has to enter to record the money received. The journal debits the bank and credit the accounts payable account. You need to select the vendor when using the accounts payable account in a general journal; so it will update the creditor sub-ledger and ageing report.

QuickBooks Credit Bill

The credit-bill remains in the accounts payable ageing report until you do a pay bill to offset the credit-bill against the Deposit or General Journal which you have created earlier.

For foreign currency vendor, the exchange rate on the general journal and the credit-bill has to be the same to prevent exchange error in reporting.
