    Hi Tim

    Only Bank & Current Asset accounts can be deposited to.

     

    Normally, you would be receiving these funds (“Deposit to”) into a “Bank” type account, either:

     

    • Your main bank account (if paid directly into there by the customer via EFT)
    • A Clearing bank account (if paid via a 3rd Party Payment App that charges you Fees & deposits the net into your main account eg Square etc) or
    • via Cash

     

    Where are your customer’s payments actually being made to?

    Hi Shaz,


    Thanks for your reply!!

    Our Prepaid Sales account is an Accounts Receivables Type so that it why is cannot be selected.

    Any thoughts on how I can get around this process??

    Currently for a ProForma Invoices:
    DR Bank CR Prepaid Sales

    When the ProForma gets converted to a Sales Invoice and payment is applied in a different month:
    Customer Invoice Received Payment - Deposit to A/R Year End Adj as I cannot select Prepaid Sales

    Then I action to DR Prepaid Sales CR A/R Year End Adj which clears these two accounts.

    Thanks for your assistance.
    Tim

    Hi Tim

     

    I recommend duplicating your Tax Invoice template as an Estimate or a Sales Order & modifying/calling it a “Pro Forma Invoice” if this is what your customer requires.

    These 2 forms are both non-posting so will not affect your financials. Each can be converted to an invoice upon payment/when necessary & can be progress-tracked too (Note “Progress Invoicing” with percentage tracking specifically requires use of an Estimate rather than the SO)

     

    Another reason for using these forms is also because pre-payments/deposits are generally not GST-related as the product or service is yet to be provided so the GST is only applicable at the point of sale/invoice.
    On a Cash basis - by default - any payments you enter (via “Receive Payments” or “Pay Bills”) will only be included in tax reports (BAS) when allocated to an invoice/bill.
