Entering Inventory Invoices - Progress Payments

Question

Hi,

We have  situations to make payments to inventory purchases prior to the inventory receipts. As a result we enter the invoices only after the inventory receipt so that our inventory is correct.

This is creating differences in our Trade creditors reconciliation - as MYOB doesn't update the sub-ledger balances for the payments.

I am sure this is a very common situation.

What is the best and normally accepted way to handle this situation?

Thanks

Hi @Yoga1

Thanks for your post. If I understand correctly you are ordering inventory items and paying a deposit prior to receiving those items. If that is correct then you could record Purchase Orders when you order the items, enter a deposit against those orders and when the items are received convert the orders to invoices.

These help articles will guide you through this process:

Enter a bill, quote or order

Supplier deposits

Changing the purchase type
