Contacts overview

Account records include your various Income Sources, Suppliers and Customers with details of Alternative payees that you can use where appropriate.
You need to set up the account records before you can start to record transactions. 

Contacts

Here you can create and edit records relating to the people and organisations that the school has dealings with. Where a person or organisation has multiple roles then you will need to create two multiple records.

Alternative payees

These are linked to Supplier accounts, allowing payments to be made to someone other than the Supplier.
