Adding a New Charge for Billing Inside i-Account
Introduction
In the i-Account system, one of the most basic and frequent transactions is issuance of invoice. If Admins finds it necessary to issue invoices for a new Charge item (e.g. Access Card, Rental of Facility, etc), they have to add the Charge into the system first. In the process, Admin has to assign an Item Code to the Charge and create a new General Ledger account.

The steps to add a new Charge item inside i-Account is as follows:
Process
For example, Admin may need to issue an invoice for Rental of Multipurpose Hall, a new Charge/Item.
A. Create New General Ledger Account
Step 1
First and foremost, Admin needs to create a new General Ledger (GL) account linked to the new Charge/Item and used to record invoice transactions.
Under the Accounting section, go to Banking and General Ledger > Maintenance > GL Accounts.
Step 2
Select “New Account” from the drop-down menu.
Select “New Account” from the drop-down menu.
Step 3
Enter the “Account Code” and “Account Name” for the new GL account. E.g: Account Code is 10011 and Account Name is Rental of Multipurpose Hall.
Step 4
Select the Account Group from the drop button for the new GL account. In this example, the Account Group selected is “Other Income”.
Step 5
Once completed, click “Add Account” at the bottom of the page to add the new GL account.
B. Add New Charge/Item
Step 6
Next, go to Items and Inventory Module > Maintenance > Items to create a new Charge/Item.
Step 7
Select “New Item'' using the drop-down menu.
Select “New Item'' using the drop-down menu.
Step 8
Enter the Item Code and Item Name. E.g: Item Code is 10012 and Item Name is “Rental of Multipurpose Hall”.
Step 9

- Therefore, for the “Sales Account”, select the GL account that was newly created.
- C.O.G.S Account setting is not applicable for debtor invoicing and can be skipped.
Step 12
Once completed, click the “Insert New Item” at the bottom of the page.
Once completed, click the “Insert New Item” at the bottom of the page.
C. Invoicing
Once you have successfully created the new Item, you can view this at Property Section > Charge Setup. At this page you can set the price for the item (Unit Price). For example RM 100.00. Click “Update” at the bottom of the page to update the price. You can then proceed to Batch Invoice to generate invoices.
Alternatively, to issue a new Ad hoc invoice (bill to single debtor), go to Accounting section > Sales > Transaction > Invoices. Select the new item, i.e. Rental of Multipurpose Hall by using the drop-down menu. Enter the price and click the “+” icon at the right to add the item and proceed to issue the invoice as usual.
