Me again!!!! Same client runs two companies - this is possibly a question I have asked before as well!! Company A has an account with C Computers. He has ordered stuff for Company B from C Computers but they have invoices Company A for the goods. As I said on Telephone bills post, he is rubbish with paperwork and if I ask him to get a revised invoice with Company B on it, it will sit on his to-do pile for the next year, bill won't be paid blah blah blah. So can I set up the invoice on Company A's QBs, with Company B as the account (rather than Computer running costs), then on Company B's QBs, do a journal from Company A to Computer Running Costs?
Then I would be inclined to post it to a loan account, and pass it back to the client to give to Co B. What they do with it, is up to them. You can only do so much!
1. Enter the bill straight into company B and pay it - you can manually mark the hard copy of the invoice on your end, and as long as you reference the invoice number on your payment it will be applied the same on the other end.
or
2. Enter and pay from company A then create an invoice from A to B for exactly the same costs detailing what it was for.
I work for a company that owns a group of restaurants all with the same name but different locations and this happens all the time. I just adjust the invoice for our records and pay from the right company on our end to reduce my workload for intercompanies.
