Accumulate Purchase History

Use the Accumulate Purchase History option to keep information about the items you have purchased and the vendors who supplied them. The option also keeps information about invoices, credit notes, debit notes, and items you returned.

You can view the information in the Purchase History form, use the History button to look it up when you are entering transactions, and print it on the Purchase History report.

Purchase Orders keeps purchase history by the type of year (fiscal or calendar) and period you select for the Accumulate By and Period Type options on the Processing tab of the Options form.

If you choose to accumulate by calendar year, the starting date for the year will be January 1. If you accumulate by fiscal year, the starting date will be the first day of your fiscal year.

You can turn on or turn off the Accumulate Purchase History option at any time. If you turn off the option after you have used it, Purchase Orders keeps the figures already accumulated until you clear them. If you turn on the option again before clearing the history you accumulated previously, the data will still be available, but there will be no figures for the period during which the option was off.
