Copy Recent Transactions

This article is for users who want to save time by copying details from previous transactions entered into the cashbook. For example, these may be previously entered EFT payments, bank feed, loan repayments, any purchases, or invoices.

The Recent F6 function allows you to search for past records and copy the details (including splits) to the transaction entry window.  

It locates the transaction by using the name entered and the time period chosen. This feature can save you time spent on searching and data entry. 

As well as using the Recent F6 function for copying a previous transaction, you can also use it to enter periodical payments.

Included/Excluded GST 

Split amounts can be entered excluding or including GST, depending on how the data is shown on an invoice or statement. The default method can be set in the Options window (press F8) but can be switched for the current split (while in the amount field) by using the * (asterisk) key. 

Amounts entered with a code that has a GST category of No Claim should be entered with GST included regardless of this setting. 

Above is an example of GST Excluded. Here Agrimaster calculates the GST on top of the split amounts given. 

•  $1799 has been entered as an amount on Wool Sales.
•  The cashbook is on Exclude (Agrimaster has calculated the GST on top of the amount entered). 

Above is an example of GST Included. Here the GST has been included in the transaction but for reporting purposes, Agrimaster must separate the GST portion.

•  $1799 has been entered as an amount on Wool Sales.
•  The cashbook is on Exclude (Agrimaster has calculated the GST on top of the amount entered).
