The sales journal module is dived into three major sections namely:

     A.  The customers section

     B.  The Invoices section

     C.  The Products Section

    A. The  customers section provides the sales journal with an abridge customer's information.  It shows you the customer's balance, address and several information about the customers. This section is read only and its  purpose is to provide the module with the information of who is transacting the business. Should you want to Edit information about the customer information you should do it in the customer's information module.

      The Second purpose of this section is to provide a way of navigating invoices in the module.  Clicking on a particular company in the company list boxl shows the company information on the customers section. It will however cause the invoices section to list only invoices and sales transaction made by the selected company.  In this illustration for example, I have clicked on the GAISANO GROUP OF COMPANIES, so the list of invoices that are listed in the invoices list are all made by GAiSANO.

    B.  The Invoices section - The invoices section is divided into two parts: 

         1.  The Invoices heading - which provided the following Information: The invoice type, the invoice number, invoice date, the invoice total and the customers.  Envision 2005 can  accommodate  a business topology of multi-company centralized or a single inventory.  To accommodate this you just classify your invoices by company. In the illustration above there are three company's involved namely; Self-garments, RC and C and Winders.  Each of these company has three sales documents; a delivery Receipt, a Plain Delivery Receipt and A Sales invoice.  Each of this document can be identified by their corresponding prefix on the Sales invoice. Clicking on an invoice on the list box shows its details on the corresponding text and combo boxes.

          2.  The invoice details - which is composed of the data grid which contains the list of products that has been sold on a particular invoice.  it shows you the item code of the product, the description of the product, the number of quantity sold per product, the selling price of the product and the sub-total cost of the product. The sum of all the subtotals in the invoice details is equal to the invoice-total in the invoices heading sub section

     C.  The products section - this section allows you to add products in the invoice details sub section.  this sections shows you the inventory information.  It is equipped with its own search utility to easily locate a product using pattern matching and data filtering.  After you have located the item you can put the qty you wish to put on the invoice detail section in the "QTY TO ADD" box and click on the "add to invoice" button.  The program does not allow you put a quantity greater than your inventory on-hand.

           Just like the customer section, If you want to edit something in the inventory information you must go to the Inventory information module. You are however allowed  Edit the Selling price of an Item, so that you can do a price discrimination without having to go to the inventory information module.  However, this module imposed one more constraints. and That is,. "you cannot Sell a product lower than the unit cost"

      There are several things happening behind the scene of this module.  First,  The inventory is automatically adjusted if you put something on the invoice details. Second, the income generated by the company is automatically computed on a per item and per invoice basis which shall be shown on the sales report.  Third, the invoice total is automatically calculated.  Fourth, the customer Year-to-date balance is automatically calculated upon adding something in the invoice details
