How to update Posting Accounts and Barcodes in SwilERP


Introduction: Posting account and Barcode

Posting in accounting refers to moving a transaction entry from a journal to a ledger, including all of a company's financial accounts. Journal entries are recorded while a Ledger complies with its transaction by accounts, such as assets or liabilities.

A barcode is a square or rectangular image with parallel black lines and white spaces of varying widths that a scanner can read. Barcodes are applied to products as a means of quick identification.
