What is the correct way in which to record expenditure in Sage in a current accounting which doesn't actually materialise in the bank statements until the next accounting period.
Eg.Accounting period:1 Jan-31 dec 2009 Expenditure: Invoice November 2009 Bank statement: Hits bank account in Feb 2010
I would think that you would process the invoice through the purchase ledger in November 2009 and pay this invoice through the bank/supplier payments when the payment is made.
So the invoice shows as an outstanding creditor at the end of the accounting period Dec 31 and is then cleared in the following one.
