I entered a bank payment for a supplier and, as I had no bill at the time, it has gone as POA. Have now entered a bill for it but how do I assing the payment to the bill? The POA doesn't show up as a credit in the Pay Bills window for me to assign it that way. As a last resort I can delete the original payment and just pay the bill but I wanted to see if it can be resolved another way as I may have quite a few of these once I've gone through the statements, as there are alot of invoices missing.
I think you will have to delete the original cheque payment and pay the bill as normal, as you said the cheque payment will not appear as a credit in the pay bills window. Also, when you entered the cheque payment, did you enter it against an expense account? If so, now you have entered the bill, you will find that you have the amount duplicated in the epxense account.
Don't forget if you have reconciled the cheque payment with the bank you will have to go back into the bank reconcile window and re-reconcile the new payment.
