Purchasing Period Question: Should purchases be tracked in the period ordered, received or paid for? Or is it OK as long as it is consistent across all credits where purchases are involved?

Ryan, the reference guide language isn't explicitly clear on this point, but to be safe, we suggest that you consistently track purchases in terms of when they are paid for. Additionally, make sure that you use a consistent approach to either include or exclude the amounts for sales tax and shipping & handling - again, it doesn't matter which way you do it as long as you're consistent.
