Prior year adjustment.
Hi there,
We have received a payment for an overdue invoice. This was overpaid by 1 cent! As it's in a prior year I can't adjust the invoice to match the payment. How do I get rid of the 1 cent credit? Thanks so much.
Hi PickleS
To clear a credit in AccountRight, you either need to apply it to an invoice or pay it out as a refund. Assuming that the credit will not be applied to another invoice for this customer you could look at creating a 1 cent invoice to apply the credit to. Do note that this will impact on whichever accounts selected in the transaction.
Alternatively if you pay the credit out as a refund this will impact your bank account. You can record a reversing journal entry to offset that amount, however I recommend speaking with your accountant over how that journal entry should look
