    Hi K2ESA 

     

    Thank you for providing more information. For the additional purchase that shouldn't be there, you will need to reverse it.

     

    However as it has those Transfer from Deposits transactions, then there are some additional steps when you reverse this type of transaction. 

     

    Please refer to the steps given in this help article: Supplier deposits.

Hi K2ESA 

 

Thank you for your post. If you make a payment against a purchase order, it's considered a deposit. Because no goods or services have changed hands when the deposit was originally entered, Essentials treats deposits differently to other payments.

 

A supplier deposit is typically posted to an asset account because it's not yet considered a payment to the supplier. When you receive the supplier's bill (for the goods you've ordered), the purchase order is converted to a bill and the deposit is transferred from the asset account to your trade creditors account.

 

If you are seeing 2 transactions labeled Transfer from Deposit, that is because of the workflow mentioned above and is normal. For a more detailed explanation of the process see Supplier deposits.

Hi Samara

 

We made 1 payment of $241.62 to a cash supplier this was allocated to the order when it was converted to a bill (our reference PJ000949).  However we now have another zero value PO with the same PO number and the same deposit allocated to it (our refernce PJ000948).  So we've made 1 payment and the system has allocated it to the same PO twice, one PO with the goods on it (now zero balance) and the same PO number with no goods on it that is now in credit for $241.62.
