Some of the stock is given away with £0 value, and some of the stock with 50% discount. How to record on sage? I know that promotional items should be recorded as an expense. Is it correct the invoice received from supplier for promotional item to enter on sage under expense nominal code rather than purchase? And when invoicing the customer just record as sale with a £0 value or if it is 50% discount just show the value as for normal sale excluding discount, as the director does not want the discount to appear on the invoice. Hope my question makes a sense.
Seems like a two way thing really, giving stuff away is promotional so the expense would be to advertising, whereas selling at a discounted price is still selling so a direct expense and any sales shown in sales, albeit a loss-leader and then in some respects a promotion, I'd still do it that way, it makes a bit of work though.
