The problem might be caused by the incorrect data type mapping, for example, if you set up the Cash Register/Fuel Deposit data type in the transaction assignments. When this data type is enabled, the system automatically bypasses AP and sends fuel sales – credit cards directly to the account register.
How can I solve the problem?
- Remove the data type Cash Register/Fuel Deposit from the transaction assignment
- Convert the data for Cash Register/Credit Cards to bring the credit cards to AP but using the data converter tool.

To view the account register history of changes, go to Personal Settings > Transaction Assignments > Changes History > Accounting History.

GPM stands for the Gross Profit Margin. Margins or gross profit margins represents a comparison between gross profit and the retail price at which an item is sold. The margin is usually expressed as a percentage and is illustrated in the following formula:
Gross Profit Margin (GPM)= (Retail Price — Cost) ÷ Retail Price
EXAMPLE
An item costs $.79 and is selling for $1.32.
$1.32-.79
Gross Profit Margin =$1.32 = 40%
For more detailed information, see GPM Calculation.

- Accounting > Tools > Changes History > Filter by payee and accounts.
- Reports > Accounting > Accounting > General Journal Report.

First of all, make sure your payee type corresponds to the account type.
- Payee type Vendor corresponds to the Accounts Payable account type.
- Payee type Customer corresponds to the Accounts Receivable account type.

You cannot use this account type (A/P) to deal with your customer because this account is supposed to be used with the vendors. You need to add this payee, John Smith, as a vendor as well.
To add a current payee as a new type of payee (the old payee type is saved as well), follow the steps:

This message means your account is not assigned to any company.

The account is never technically completely deleted. Since the account might have transaction or be part of the transaction assignment, its deletion might cause the data loss on the data entry forms. So instead of deleting, the account is made inactive with the possibility to restore it.

Make sure all the account types are set up correctly in the Settings > Company > Chart of Accounts.
Make sure there are no transactions within the audit period for the accounts marked as inactive in the General Journal report (Reports on the company level > Accounting > Accountant Reports > General Journal).
