Applying Vendor Entries - Using Applying to oldest method

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

I have a small issue which anyone of you had faced this issue before....


1) I have a vendor for whom i have open ledger entries from Oct-2010 till date
2) For some reason, we wanted to close this vendor balance as on 31-Dec-2010 and insert a new opening balance as on 01-Jan-2011

The vendor ledger entry looks like this

01-Oct-2010 = -15,210
04-Oct-2010 =   1,000
07-Nov-2010 = -25,210
10-Dec-2010 =   2,500

Total for 2010= -36,920


02-Jan-2011 = -32,560
28-Feb-2011 = -15,345

Total for 2011= 47,905

Now i wanted to close his balance as on 31-Dec-2010 by putting a reverse entry to his balance. So i pass a journal with the positive value of 36,920. The Application method for this vendor is "Apply to oldest". I am passing this entry on 31-dec-2010. So i would assume that while passing this JV, the system will automatically knock off vendor's 2010 invoices so that i can pass a fresh entry on 01-Jan-2011.

Actually what is happening is that, the system is keeping some balance for a specific invoice of 2010 and adjusting that balance to one of the invoices in 2011. In this example, it is not adjusting the 07-Nov-2010 invoice fully and keeps a small balance of it and that balance is adjusted to an invoice dated: 02-Jan-2011.

I woul like to know why the system is applying in this method or is there any specific way of overcoming it?

    Hello,

    Please confirm if this is the correct balance. 2010 entries should be 0.00 and then the 2011 entries will contain the remaining amounts.

    Has issue been resolved for you?

    I tried your scenario and system is doing the application correctly.

    It is knocking off 01-Oct-2010 & 07-Nov-2010 & the remaining is amount 47905/-.

    Version of Nav is 2009 SP1.

    Country India.

    I believe the reason why the system makes the auto application is becuase of the doc types/amounts. In the above VLE's you have a mix of debits and credits. Typically a payment cannot be applied directly to a credit.

    I agree with Savatage99. Go to the Vendor Ledger entry screen and click Apply Entries and manually set the applications.

    First apply the open credits to the debit, leaving remaining balances THEN enter an entry (posted 2010) to offset the balance.

    these dates are they doc dates, posting dates or due dates?

    are all the due  dates in decending order?

    another way is instead of just making a journal entry & posting

    you could enter the entry & click funtions->apply entries (shift-f9)

    f9 on the entries you want to apply-click ok
