Update invoices or credits to the ledger

How to post invoices or credit notes to your ledgers in Sage 50 Accounts.

Once you've created an invoice or credit note in your software, post it to your ledgers to create a Sales Invoice (SI) transaction.

Posting to the ledger posts a Sales Invoice (SI) or Sales Credit (SC) for each item line on your invoice.  It also adjusts the stock levels for the required products.
