Help please!
If we have posted an invoice in Sage dated April that relates to activitity in both April and May and we want the expenditure to be split between the two months but not in equal amounts how do we do this? is it a prepayment? or an accrual? or deferal?
Many thanks

I would do a journal dated April to a balance sheet account to reduce the P&L amount by the desired amount.

I would then do the reverse of this journal dated May
