Hi there,

When receiving a electricity/gas/telephone bill, do we record invoice in "supplier, invoice" first then "bank, supplier" to pay for it or better just do it in "bank, payment". Also for a service providing institution whose supplier supplies goods not for resell but as an expense for the company, do we put invoices in "supplier, invoice" then pay for it or just treat it as "bank, payment"?

I look forward to your reply, thank you.

You can do your utilities either way.

A supplier account is useful if you are making regular payments as there is no vat on the payments only on the invoices every three months or so. It also enables you to reconcile invoices to payments.

Otherwise straight bank payments are a little less work.

Thank you for your help!
