Allocating Owner personal fund payments

In setting up the business, bills were created (DR expenses or plant & Machinery) and credit accounts payable. Owners funds/equity was created by journal by DR Accounts payable CR Owners personal funds (equity). Now I ned to match the journal entry in accounts payable to the supplier but this doesn't appear possible. I'm thinking I need to create another journal to CR Accounts payable, debit one of the allocatable bank accounts (external funds). Then try and match those journal entries to the supplier to close the bill. Can someone advise whether this is the right approach?

    Hi,

    Sorry posibly misread.

    Contact your Accountant no journal should really be entered to accounts payable at all.

    owners funds entries should be entered as owners loan/drawing or contributions and other side maybe to relevant bank account.

    journals to accounts payable will throw this account out of balance 

  • If your Myob software has a bills or purchases section their should be an option to record a supplier payment in their to close the bill.

      Hi Julia

      Apologies for late response and thanks for responding. The issue with that method is that it wants to create an entry into one of the defined bank accounts but the money came from personal equity so I just want to mark the bill as paid without generating any entries.
