Purchase Journals -- Payment

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by john.ellis 3,510

Hi:

Upon trying to enter a "Payment" in Purchase Journals, I have added the "Inv. Discount ($)" field and placed an amount within that field.

Because of this attempt, I have several questions.  First, upon previewing posting, no discount account or amount appears.  It's as if the General Ledger will not acknowledge the discount.  Why not?

Also, no document number is defaulting into the "Document No." field.  Why not?

Finally, since I have a vendor in this transaction as well as a Cash account as the Balance Account, is that way there is a positive (debit) amount to the A/P account and a negative (credit) amount to the Cash account?

Thanks!

John

    In your Purchase and Payables Setup, the first field is "Discount Posting".  Verify you have the system set to record the discounts, otherwise it will not split out the discount in the GL.

    The Doc. No. is based on the Journal Template/Batch setup.

    It sounds like you are entering the payment order correctly, selecting Vendor first and your Bank or GL Account as the Balancing Account.  Be sure to set an Applies To ID or use Apply Entries, to link the payment against an existing invoice(s) for the Vendor.

    I would suggest reaching out to your partner of record for some training on the base process flow of the system, and how Posting Groups work as well.  This might help you better understand the GL flow of data.
