Indkøb with payment before receipt of goods/invoice
If you need to pay for your goods before you receive them and maybe even before you get an invoice from your supplier, i.e. you want to post a prepayment to your supplier, you can do this:- Create a purchase order under Accounts payable/Purchase order
- Enter lines on the purchase order corresponding to the items you need to order from the supplier
- Then enter two lines without an item number, but where the Expense account field may be filled in with a financial account for prepaid costs, with + (plus) and - (minus) the amount to be prepaid. See example below
- Uncheck the Billable field on all lines other than the line with the prepayment (see screenshot above) and select the Save to tape button
- Now post a purchase invoice on the purchase order. The line with the prepayment will be posted and removed on the purchase order if you have chosen to delete complete invoiced lines. A payable item has been posted on the vendor and this is offset on the account you entered as an expense account on the purchase line. The other lines will still be on the purchase.
- Post a goods receipt or partial receipt as described above. Remember to check the Invoiceable box again on the lines you want to receive goods.
- Post a purchase invoice as described above. Remember to mark the Invoiceable field on the line with the prepayment offset. When the invoice is posted, the invoice amount will only be equal to any difference between the prepayment amount and the full invoice amount. The amount on the prepayment account will be posted with the opposite sign than before, so that this account then goes to 0. Stock additions are posted as normal.
