How does ERPNext want me to enter odd expenses?

[JDG]

How am I supposed to be entering non regular expenses? Something that is not from a purchase order or the likes. Say for example I register a domain name from GoDaddy? If I have a supplier setup for Godaddy and I enter a new payment entry then the only account available to debit is creditor. I am not able to make the debit into Expenses. If I have an account for “Licenses and Fees” under expenses I have to make the account type “Payable” first. The same is true if I do a journal entry and try to select a supplier. Is this how I am supposed to be doing these types of transactions using ERPNext. Should all my account under expenses be set as payable?

I hope that makes sense.

Expenses not related to items

Please tell me how can I enter purchase invoice for expenses not related to stock items e.g Telephone Bills, Meals Expenses , Customer Entertainment expenses, Fuel Expenses, etc here I have to create item every time for such expenses e.g stationary i buy , meals ordered, etc Journal Entry is an alternate way but not proper ways to do such thing, other Accounting Software provide option to book multiple expense in related accounts in a single invoice without needed to create item for it

hope this will help you

It’s a two-step process with some automated actions: Create an Expense Entry (and approve it) [image] A journal entry is created for you [image] Here’s a print preview: [image] Ro…
