Bookings Entries

The booking entries can be viewed in the Sales Bookings and Purchase Bookings pages. This contains the full details of the booking changes, to get the total bookings for a period you just total the Line Amount column.

Sales Bookings

When a new document line is created the system creates an Insert type of booking entry to record the addition. When a document line is deleted the system will create an Delete type of booking entry to record the deduction in booking. When a document line is updated the system evaluates what type of change that’s done and if needed records the booking by creating two booking entries with the type of Modify. The first Modify entry reverses the prior booking entry and the second records the new values. This way if, for example, a previous created document gets the quantity deducted, a negative booking with the difference between the old and new quantity is recorded.

Purchase Bookings

The booking tables store the details and have been created to make reporting bookings easy. The tables are very suitable for using pivot views and the Booking Statistics pages shows the amounts over periods.
