Posting Supplier Payments
Permalink Closed


Good afternoon guys.

This is my first post and is probably a silly question but non the less its bugging me and i wondered if someone could advise me please....:)

What would be the best way to post purchase payments made onto sage, would it be a:

The client posts the supplier invoices onto sage, files them sequentially and makes various payments through the bank throughout the month, then at the end of the month i would go and post the supplier payments for the month from the bank statement only;

Or

The client posts all invoices onto sage and numbers sequentially, then as the client pays the invoices she writes on the front of the invoice the details, and moves them in a 'paid' file, still sequentially. 

When i visit at the end of the month i grab the 'paid' file and post the payments on to sage from the info the client has written on the front of the invoice ie date paid, how paid and which part of the invoice paid.  

When i rec the bank i then just highlight the payments that have passed through the bank and leave the rest sat on the bank rec.

The client really wants to keep a seperate file for unpaid invoices as it helps her. 

Does this question even make sense? lol sorry  THANKS FOR ANY HELP X

Why not keep a 4 file system

1. File 1 - invoices not paid or processed (you would move the invoices to file 2 when you have posted them on SAGE)

2. File 2 - invoices processed and unpaid (effectively the unpaid file from the clients viewpoint)

3. File 3 - invoices processed and paid (client would move from file 2 to file 3 when they have paid the invoice)

4. File 4 - invoices processed, paid and payment processed (you would move from file 3 to 4 when you have processed the payment).  (this is the final file)

You can file either sequentially by manually added number or alaphabetically by supplier.

Regards

Mark
