Treatment of an old credit balance on a supplier statement

Dec 20, 2017 0 Replies

Hi,



I've just started working for a new company and recently received a monthly statement from one of our suppliers. On this statement there is a credit b alance of £525.00 When I queried this with the supplier, due to the age of the credit balance (It goes back 18 months!) they couldn't explain w hy, apart from that it's a credit on our account. I quick reconciliation m y end and I still can't get to the bottom of it.



What would be the correct treatment in order to "claim" the credit of ? ?525.00? Would it simply be a case of raising an internal credit note and then deducting this from the next invoice(s) due for payment, thus using u p the credit balance?



Many thanks in advance for any advice.
