  1. Group behaves like a Sub-Ledger?
Set to Yes, the group behaves like a Control Account for the ledgers it contains, wherein only the group balance is displayed. This is useful while working on groups like the Sundry Debtors and Sundry Creditors (pre-set to Yes), where the ledger items are numerous.
  1.  Nett Debit/Credit Balances for Reporting?
Set to Yes, this configuration displays the amount as a net figure instead of separate debit and credit balances as shown in the reports.

  • Use ALTERNATE UNITS for Stock Items: This is another unit, apart from the main unit, which you can use instead of the Stock Item. This is particularly useful when you need to handle different units at different times. For example, you buy Data Cables in pieces but sell them in packets of 5 pieces each. For alternate units, you are asked to give a conversion factor (e.g. 5) so that a link is maintained between the two. What you give here is simply a conversion factor that comes up as default during a voucher entry. You may specify a different factor during voucher entry.
  • Allow Std. Rates for Stock Items: Standard rates enable the valuation of an inventory at standard purchase or standard sales prices. Moreover, these prices come up by default during voucher entry (you may choose to override them if required).
