Hello Readers,
Let’s start with the topic,
This problem occurs in the General Journals, Payment Journals and Cash Receipts Journals that manage receipts and payments for customers and vendors.
For example, on the Payment Journals page, you can record payments that you make to vendors.
But if the Document Type is Payment, Account Type is Vendor, and Amount is Negative, an error will be displayed when posting.
Because You are paying a vendor, your bank amount goes down and your vendor amount goes up. So, if your Account Type is a vendor and Document Type is Payment, you should enter a positive amount.
The next question is how to handle refunds from vendors?
At this time, just select Refund in Document Type. then you can post a negative amount for vendors.
Account Type |
Document Type |
Amount |
Customer |
Payment |
Negative |
Customer |
Refund |
Positive |
Vendor |
Payment |
Positive |
vendor |
Refund |
Negative |
The process is the same for customer collections.
The above discussion is based on the Account Type being the customer or vendor. If the Account Type is the bank account and the Balance Account Type is the customer or vendor, it is the opposite of the above table.
Hope you all like this write up and it will help to gain more knowledge.
