Allocating payments on account

Post by Abi » 13 Jun 2008, 11:39

Hello there

Almost complete newbie to Sage and bookkeeping here (though my boss apparently thinks I'm now a trained bookkeeper after just a few hours' training and expects the moon on a stick).

Our aged creditors analysis summary is showing creditors from several months back as payments on account, but we have paid the suppliers. How do I change these entries so that they show as paid?

When I try to pay it off as I normally would if I were posting a payment to a supplier, it says "There is an unallocated cheque balance of £(amount). Please remove this before posting the transaction."

To complicate matters, the payments were made in our last VAT quarter. Does that complicate matters? I don't know. I'm a linguist! How and, more importantly, why did I get into this?!

make a 0 value supplier payment, pickup the payment on account and then the invoice, they will cancel each other out.

Do you mean I should create a sort of dummy invoice from that supplier with no monetary value? If so, Sage won't let me do that. I get a warning saying "No transaction values entered".

Sorry, this is so confusing for me!

A dummy payment.

In the bank module use the supplier payment button
