    Hi @BuildonCert


    Thanks for posting your concern in the forum. 

     

    I understand the need to make sure this settlement payment is correctly recorded in the ledger. Unfortunately, this is considered financial advice, and we aren't allowed to provide this. I recommend seeking help from an accountant or a financial advisor. 

     

    In the meantime, feel free to create a new thread if you require any other assistance. 

     

    Thanks,
    Genreve

      Chelsea,

       

      Hopefully your MYOB file is in the cloud and your Tax Accountant has helped you.

      Accounting/GST for Motor Vehicles is complex.

       

      For monies received from an Insurance Money, you would use a Receive Money.
