This article describes how to post the Purchase Ledger chit in Unity® Practice Management. 

General Information 

• The purchase ledger is classed as an optional extra and therefore may not be present within your system. Contact the Sales department on 0161 236 2910 for more information.
• This chit is used to allocate purchase ledger pre-payments to the appropriate invoices. 

How To Access The Chit 

1. Open the Accounts program.
2. Click the Posting icon.
3. Double-click the Purchase Ledger folder to display a list of Purchase Ledger chits.
4. Double-click the Match Invoices To Payments option. 

How To Post The Chit 

1. Select a Supplier.
2. Select a Reversal.
3. Select the unpaid invoice(s) in the upper window.
   • To partly pay an invoice, locate the required record, then enter an amount into the Credit Now field.
   • To fully pay an invoice, locate the required record, then tick the All checkboх.
4. Select the payment in the lower window.
   • To partly allocate a payment, locate the required record, then enter an amount into the Allocate Now field.
   • To fully allocate a payment, locate the required record, then tick the All checkbox.
5. Click Post to post the transaction to the ledger card. 

Miscellaneous Options 

1. Click Posting on the top toolbar to enable a dropdown menu. From here, you can open another chit type.
2. Click View on the top toolbar to enable a dropdown menu. From here, you can display either the accounts or the time ledger card for the selected matter.
3. Click Options on the top toolbar to enable a dropdown menu. From here, you have 3 options:
   • Click Chit Colours to enable/disable posting chit colour schemes.
   • Click Dialog Style to enable/disable the dialog style. This basically affects the role of the ENTER key when you are filling in a posting chit. When the dialogue style is enabled (i.e., the menu option is ticked), it means that there is always a default button on the chit which you can activate by hitting enter/return without the need to focus the button first. Try it. Make sure the "Dialog Style" option is ticked and open a bill chit. You will see that the Post button has a border around it. This means it is the active button, so if you ever press the enter/return key, the chit will attempt to post regardless of where your cursor is on the chit. If you choose to disable the dialogue style, this means there will be no active button, and the ENTER key will do nothing unless a specific button has been highlighted by your cursor at that time.
   • Click Case-Sensitivity Dictionary to launch the Case-Sensitivity Dictionary utility.
4. Click Keep to enable a dropdown menu. From here, you can select to retain the branch, bank, date, details, reference, or narrative for future postings.
5. Click Cancel, to clear the contents of the chit.
