Accounting for bank charges deducted at source by a customer when making an international payment for an invoice.
I invoice a UK customer $100 (for example) They have bank charges of $20 for the transaction so they deduct $20 and pay me $80. My accounts now show and overdue amount of $20. I am happy to pay this but how do I get rid of the overdue notice on my accounts? Someone suggested I set up a "spend money" transaction for the $20 which sort of makes sense but having done that I still have the overdue amounts showing. It seems like there must be some way of allocating the spend money to the overdue invoice amounts but it's not clear to me how this should be done? Can someone please help?
