Payout expenses using a POS ticket

I personally have never had a satisfactory experience using the POS/Ticket Screen to make Payouts. It simply is not designed for that function. Payouts are really a pure Transaction operation, and even given that, you can set the Transaction Description to reflect what the Payout is for.

When it comes to Vendor, Supplier, or Expense Payouts, the recommended setup does not use the POS/Ticket screen; it uses Account Screens and/or Custom Entity Screens …

The above all use Account Screens and Transaction Documents (Buttons on the Account Screen(s)).


I refined my original Tutorial to use an Entity Screen that has more automation behind it and removed the Buttons from the Accounts Screen… I cannot currently find a Tutorial for this however it is fairly simple setup and it looks something like this:


Since you mention more detailed tracking of what has been paid to whom, it sounds like you might be looking for something more like the Payroll System that I designed. The operation is very similar (nearly identical when it comes to Accounts and Transactions) to Expense Payouts, but in this case, there are some Reports added to the Screen to show more information on when and how much was paid. The operational flow is the same as the Expense Payout in the previous screenshot. I don’t have a Tutorial for this either …
