Not being an accountant either... A sales order is what I write down when you want to buy something from me. You ask me to ship you 10,000 staples next week. When I actually *do* ship you the 10,000 stables, I generate an invoice to go with it. Before I ship, I have no receivable asset, but I have 10,000 stables. After I ship, I have a receivable asset posted, but I don't have the 10,000 staples. If this happens between 10am and 2pm, not a huge difference. If it happens between noon on Dec. 31 and I ship on Jan 4, the next year, this might matter. Unless I post the order, my factory floor might not actually produce the 10,000 staples, or they shipping department might ship the last 10,000 staples to someone else. -- ] He who is tired of Weird Al is tired of life! | firewalls [ ] Michael Richardson, Sandelman Software Works, Ottawa, ON |net architect[ ] [email protected] http://www.sandelman.ottawa.on.ca/ |device driver[ Kyoto Plus: watch the video <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzx1ycLXQSE> then sign the petition. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Got visibility?
