Income schedule lines

The view of the application that you see when you install one of the extension packages (such as the Cash Entry Extension package). For invoices, credit notes, and journals Extended Edition is integrated into the main package, but must be configured. there are "Edit" and "Del" columns but if you try to delete individual income schedule line items an error will be displayed. The only way to remove income schedule line items is to remove the income schedule from the sales invoice line; this will result in all the income schedule line items being removed from that sales invoice line.

| Year/Period | The accounting periods across which the income from this line item has been apportioned. You can change the period before the sales invoice is posted. |
