How to add a new chart of account into the Bank Account Field

Hi,

I have a question to ask, it is about bill payment function.

 

i. Company A received a bill issued from company B on 01/10/2024

ii. Company C paid this bill on behalf of company A on 15/10/2024

iii. Company A repaid this to company C on 15/10/2024

 

I now need to book the following entry in company A's MYOB accounts (ii. company C paid this bill to company B on behalf of company A on 15/10/2024):

Dr Accounts Payable - company B

Cr Loan - company C

 

How do I book this entry in company A's MYOB accounts via AP function? How to add the "Loan - company C" into the Bank Account filed so that I can pay this bill via this "Loan - company C" rather than the bank account?

 

Kind regards,

Helen

    In this type of scenario, we do recommend reaching out to an accountant for an accurate solution. But to give you an idea, to book the entry in Company A's MYOB accounts for the transaction where Company C paid the bill on behalf of Company A, create a loan account for Company C under "Liability" named "Loan - Company C," then record the bill payment by selecting the supplier (Company B) and the bill that was paid, and in the "Pay from Account" field, select the "Loan - Company C" account. Finally, record the repayment to Company C by selecting the bank account from which Company A repaid Company C and allocate it to the "Loan - Company C" account.
