Entering Inventory Invoices - Progress Payments

Hi,

 

We have  situations to make payments to inventory purchases prior to the inventory receipts. As a result we enter the invoices only after the inventory receipt so that our inventory is correct.

 

This is creating differences in our Trade creditors reconciliation - as MYOB doesn't update the sub-ledger balances for the payments.

 

I am sure this is a very common situation.

 

What is the best and normally accepted way to handle this situation?

 

Thanks

Yoga

  • Hi Yoga1 

     

    Thanks for your post. If I understand correctly you are ordering inventory items and paying a deposit prior to receiving those items. If that is correct then you could record Purchase Orders when you order the items, enter a deposit against those orders and when the items are received convert the orders to invoices.

     

    These help articles will guide you through this process:

    Enter a bill, quote or order 

    Supplier deposits 

    Changing the purchase type 

     

    Please let me know if you need further help.
