Hi. Could you please tell me why are some payments showing on charts of accounts as payment from client (as a credit) and others are in red ( debit) saying sales invoice - balance on invoice. All these invoices have been paid.
Which nominal code specifically area you looking at?
Here’s an example of the nominal ledger postings for a typical sales invoices that has been paid. There are two entries on the debtor control account (i.e. that tracks what is owed), one when the invoice is raised and a counter credit when it’s paid.
Thank you, i didn’t realise there were 2 entries on this account. It now makes sense.
Hi @lisaaj
The two entries are part of the double entry accounting.
The one that usually confuses people is the bank accounts, which are shown as opposites. For example, a bank account which has a balance of +£1000 (credit), will be shown as -£1000 (debit)
To help give you a clearer picture of how this all fits together, here’s a link to the full image @Glenn used above:
Hope that makes sense
You’re an
