OK, I'm confused. I've read several posts about S&H, but I still can't figure it out.

In Accountings Receivable, I can enter a value for S&H, which is fine. But I can't see how to do this in Accounts Payable. If I order parts online from a web store like newegg or tigerdirect, there are different S&H with each order. How do I enter this? Is it supposed to be another line item, or do I go somewhere and enter it in a separate location?

Thanks again for a fantastic program.

Nevermind. I reread your first post and figured it out. I thought it would automagically switch to the edit text box like it does when you add an item in sales. But you have to go into edit after adding an item in purchasing invoices.

Thanks much.

Should I be able to edit the item description for an item in Purchases the same way I can in sales? That is where I am confused. I thought I remember that functionality working at some point. As it is, I can edit a description when making a sales invoice, but not a purchasing invoice.

Is that not possible? Is something just not working for me?

I must  be doing something wrong then. Because I can only update item descriptions in Sales, not in Purchases. Any ideas?

I'm using 2.3.3.

I might just be too stupid to figure this out. I've read several posts and I'm still confused.

What I want to do is enter minor purchases as line items. For example, if I purchased 5 things for my business from a local computer store such as:

30" Monitor
24" Monitor
Keyboard
Mouse
Laptop

I'd like to enter this information into the system line by line under one transaction. How do I do this? I've tried using Direct Invoices under the purchase menu, but I can't seem to edit the item descriptions (I made a misc component and misc service that has editable desc checked).

About the only thing I can find that works for simple purchases like this is a "Bank Account Payment Entry" under the "Banking and General Ledger" tab. Is this the proper way of doing this or should I be doing something different under the payments tab? I am not great at accounting but I can figure this great system pretty well. Some things just elude me.

I'm using version 2.3.3

Am I correct that the only way to actually attach documents to a transaction is through the Setup->Attach Documents link?

I believe your reply deals with viewing attachments once they exist. I would like to attach documents through the Setup->Attach Documents area.

When attaching documents from that screen I'd like to see the existing transactions for each type, so I can select transaction 45 lets say, and then attach documents for that transaction instead of manually entering "45" into "transaction #:" text box.

If I'm misunderstanding your reply, my apologies.

I noticed the "View or Print Transactions" screen might be a simple solution. Just add a "paperclip" type button next to the transaction and have a pop-up dialog to attach items. Just a thought,

I use attach documents for just about everything. I'd like to be able to select a "type" such as Bank Payment or Bank Deposit, and see all of the available transactions I've entered. As it is I have to enter the transaction number manually so I have to remember the number if I enter a lot of payments (office items, electric bills, gasoline, etc) so I can enter it correctly. Right now it only lists the transactions and documents you've attached, not all that are available.

If there is a way to do that, I'm not seeing it. If that's confusing let me know. I'm using 2.3.3
