Two debits & one credit (Customer Receipt through LC)

Dear Mr. Denny,
Please tell me how can I post a transaction as follows:

Debit bank: (Amount Received through LC) AED 312,800.00
Debit bank charges: (Charges on LC) 200.00
Customer: AED 313,000.00


It cannot be posted through journal because there is bank charges & a customer in the transaction.

May be first I post 313000 (Debit Bank & Credit Customer)
and then separately post 200 (Debit bank charges & Credit Bank)

I hope its the only way.......

Dear Mr Mooon

There are lots of ways, the 2 that come to mind.

Customer Receipt of the 313,000.00
Bank Payment of the 200.00

This way both transactions will appear in the bank rec.

Customer credit note of 200.00 to bank charges
Customer receipt of 312,800.00

Pick up and match the credit note to match the invoice in full.

This way only one transaction will appear in the bank rec.

I would use the method that will match up with how the transaction will appear on the bank statement.

Thanks alot Mr. Denny. So, its mean that there is not way to make single entry (with two debits & one credit), there will be two double entries for this purpose.
Please reply this post so that I may proceed with entries.
