If you are using this journal line for an invoice, this field contains the line's net amount (the amount excluding VAT).
You can either fill in the field or fill in the Account No. and Bal. Account No. fields and let the program automatically fill in the amount.
The field is important for customer and vendor statistics, but it has no significance for posting.
If a payment discount will be calculated from the net amount, the program uses the amount in this field for the calculation.
If the Payment Disc Excl VAT option has been selected in the GL Setup, you must manually enter amounts in the Sales/Purch. (LCY) field.
