Charge codes and the accounts they post to

Every charge line on an invoice picks a charge code, and the charge code decides which account the money lands in when the document is finalised. Setting these up properly is what makes the ledger sort itself out.

Invoice Charges Codes

1. Open Initial Setup → Invoice Charges Codes.
2. Press ＋ Add Invoice Charges Code.
3. Enter Code and Description — both required.
4. Enter Text For AWB Printing: the short form that prints on the airway bill.
5. Pick a Finance Code — the chart-of-accounts account this charge belongs to.

Other Payable Types

A payable type is what an Other Charges Payable document is raised against — a shipping line, an airline, a transporter. As well as Payable Type Code, Description, Vendor Code and Control Code, the form carries one expense account per operating mode: Air Export, Sea Export, Air Import, Sea Import, Custom Clearance, Consignment, Logistics, Transport and Others. Which desk raises the payable decides which of those accounts it books to.

Job Types

A job type carries Job Code, Job Type and an Income Code — the revenue account that jobs of that type invoice into.
