Sage Help Please

Supplier payment to the solicitor. Don't allocate it to anything, so it will go in as a payment on account.

Purchase invoice in the normal way

Credit note, tax code T9 to suspense. Bank receipt, tax code T9 from suspense.

This is where I'm getting stuck. I did a credit note for the supplier account using suspense account but all this did was bring the supplier account further into a minus balance and reduce the turnover figure. Have I done the credit note correctly or should it be not be done like a "normal" credit note.

Also I must be doing something wrong as the credit note to suspense has gone on the credit side as has the bank receipt from suspense. Credit note to suspense is meant to go on debit side...bank receipt from suspense meant to go on credit side, have I got that right?

Thank you for your help so far.

You don't post a credit note - it should be a "dummy" invoice.

Jonathan knows the right answer but he just made a mistake!

Does that also affect the turnover figure in the suppliers account? Is that not a problem if it does? And can you clarify a "dummy" invoice? I'm sorry to be so dense. I am only on level one of my bookkeeping course.

Thank you muchly.

It does affect the turnover figure but it's only a memo figure.

A dummy invoice is one that is only internal.

The problem is that Sage doesn't have routines for various transactions or if they do they are badly implimented.
