Business Central Espresso - item principle

What are posts ? And why are they not only important for accounting ?

Every time something is posted in Business Central, so-called entries are created. When a posting is made, Business Central runs a table in the background in which items are written.

Based on the items, each individual booking can be tracked and understood accordingly . The item principle in Business Central therefore ensures transparency and is particularly important for an audit or tax audit.

The items include e.g.:

• G/L items : Are formed when posting to G/L accounts
• Value entries : Are formed when changes in value of stocks have been posted
• Accounts receivable and detailed accounts receivable : Are created when invoices or credit notes have been posted for a debtor (= customer).
• Accounts Payable and Vendor Detailed Entries : Are formed when invoices or credit memos are posted to a vendor (=supplier).
• Sales tax items : Formed when sales tax has been posted
• etc.
