Summary details
The top of the page is a summary of the key information about the supplier's account. This shows you details about the amount Purchased as well as the main contact details. It also shows whether the supplier is Active or Inactive.

The number of Money Out transactions that make up each total appears in brackets.
To work out the total value of Purchases made from a supplier, we add up all money-out transactions and then deduct any refunds.
