Processing Basics
In ADempiere there are several predefined types of documents, as can be seen in the picture below.
This window can be reached in the ADempiere Client App's menue (if you are logged in a role with access level 'Client+Organization') this way:
Menu -> Performance Analysis -> Accounting Rules -> Document Type
The automated internal processing of those documents is a complex matter. What we start here is a simple FAQ-like explanation of those base documents. Where appropriate a further explanations are provided, redirecting to database entities, source code and articles by other ADempiereans.
List of described documents
- Invoice for the Customer
- Vendor's Invoice
- Shipment
- Material Receipt
- Payment from Customer (AR Receipt)
- Payment to Vendor (AP Payment)

- About the usage of DEFAULT_ACCOUNTS - these are special accounts from the Chart Of Accounts, which are bound in the source code to standard processes. So the posting of mainstream activities is backed up and automated.
Note that all the examples given include accounts from the American COA which comes along with the ADempiere installation.
