What does sales and purchasing cover?
Sales are everything a company sells to its customers, and purchasing is everything it buys from its suppliers. In Genoa, one module covers both sides.
Sales and purchases are recorded in Genoa as invoices: a sales invoice to a customer and a purchase invoice from a supplier.
How does an invoice affect stock and customer and supplier balances?
A sales invoice takes items out of stock and, for a sale on credit, adds to the customer's balance. A purchase invoice brings items into stock and, for a purchase on credit, adds to the supplier's balance.
Invoices are also reflected in the accounts, because all the modules are part of the same product.
What about buying from abroad in dollars?
It is common for Iraqi companies to import goods, pay for them in US dollars and sell them locally in Iraqi dinars. For these cases, Genoa offers two optional features.
Both are off by default and are switched on per organisation, according to each company's needs.
- Multi-currency: adds the US dollar alongside the Iraqi dinar.
- Landed cost: adds freight and customs on top of the cost of purchased items.
