Transaction types

A transaction type indicates the type of function that was performed to yield either a Journal transaction or an Inventory transaction. Every form that performs a certain function has a specific transaction type associated with all transactions that are generated form that form. There are also other transaction types that are generated internally and that are used to differentiate between transactions.

Generally, there will be a transaction type per function that can be performed plus a few extras. Some functions generate only journal transactions, some functions generate only inventory transactions, and some functions generate both. The full list of transaction types and links to the functions which generate them is shown below. You can also view the Transaction Map for more details about each transaction type.
