Navigation: Example Invoice Transaction Type Screen: Example Credit Memo Transaction Type Screen: Details about the columns given in the above screens: Fields Class Creation Sign Description Categorize transaction types by assigning them to a class of Invoice, Credit Memo, Debit Memo, Deposit, Guarantee, or Chargeback. Transaction types are displayed in windows as lists of values Positive, Negative, or Any Sign for initial sign of transaction. Positive required for guarantees and deposits Assign a status of Open, Closed, Pending, or Void to this transaction Note: When creating transactions via Autoinvoice, even if you use a transaction type that is setup with Transaction Status = Closed, once the data is interfaced, it will have an OPEN status.
