    Hi leihu 

     

    Thanks for your post. Your friends suggestion uses a clearing account (the prepayment account) which is one way to handle prepayments. We recommend using the method in that help article as it links the prepayment to the supplier so there is payment history. 

     

    The dates in the screenshots of the help article are just because the examples were recorded on the same day. When recording the bill and payment in step 1 you would enter the date as the date you made the prepayment. Then enter the actual bill with the invoice date and apply the debit note.

     

    Please let me know if you need further help.
