Year End Correction

SOLVED

I have an adjusting entry from the accountant which is to clear an accounts payable account and purchase prepayment entry. If I do an invoice it goes to accounts payment what is the account I charge it to. Should it go to suspense but then how do I clear the suspense account.

    I'm confused.  

    Should it go to suspense but then how do I clear the suspense account.

    Why would  you send it to a suspense account if you need to clear it out again.  If the entry is to clear the A/P account and an invoice as you said will clear the account, why wouldn't you want to do that?

    Is the Purchase Prepayment and Accounts Payable amount for the same vendor?  If so would recording a payment for the vendor that includes the amount in Accounts Payable and the Prepayment give you the correct journal entry?

    Can you show us what the journal entry should be?  And what the vendor aged detail report looks like?

  • Thanks for your reply and you are 100% I need to hook it up with the sale and the accounts where it is going to. Thanks you made me think of the other piece that is sitting in another adjusting entry from the accountants.
