Accounting Subtab

Itinerary Accounting Export

Once Accounting Setup has been completed, and you have Itineraries data to export, you can start exporting your Purchases and/or Sales from Tourwriter into your accounting software.

Also see Bulk Accounting Export.

Open any Itinerary and select the Additional Tab > Accounting Subtab

The Accounting Subtab area is split into two further Subtabs: Purchases and Sales

Purchases Subtab
Allows you to view then export purchases booking information for the Itinerary. Click Load to generate a list of purchases for the Itinerary.

Sales Subtab
Sales invoices information for the Itinerary

Edit Sales

This option only applies to the Sales Subtab. The Edit Sales button opens the Tourwriter Sales allocation popup window. Here you can add and edit Itinerary Sales records allowing you to allocate revenue to each revenue account.

NOTE – You must edit your Sales before pressing the Load button.

Tourwriter Sale Allocation Window

You can create a Sale for the deposit amount of $xx.xx; simply click on and enter the following sales information:

NOTE – The amounts in the Clients Tab > Client payments and refunds workspace appear on the Client Pricing Report and Client Pricing Detailed Report. The amounts added to Tourwriter Sale allocation popup window (shown above) are exported into your Accounting software. The reason we keep these areas separate is due to the fact that only some Tourwriter users will utilise the export sales feature (i.e. if they have Xero, for example).

Linking Client Payments to Sales Export

To link the payments on the Clients Tab to the Sales you have edited take the following steps:-

1. Go to the Clients Tab > Details Subtab
2. In the Client payments and refunds workspace click on the down arrow (triangle), in each of the entries in the Sale field, to select the applicable payment from the entries you have made in the Tourwriter Sales allocation workspace (see image below).

Date
This is the sales invoice date, ie. the date that you want to recognise the sale in your accounting system (as opposed to the date of payment or date of travel).

Comments
Description of sales information.

Amount
The invoice amount.
