Hi folks I have 2 issues with outstanding purchases that I am hoping that you can help with.
I’ll start with the easiest.
3 VAT periods ago I photographed a parking receipt twice. It’s only for £1.50, but I don’t know how to deal with the duplicate, as it’s locked as they are from a previous VAT period. I’m on FRV.
What’s the simplest way to rectify this?
My other problem is another outstanding purchase but this might be more tricky as I think I’ve been quite sloppy in the way that I account for my payments for my premises rent.
So far I have just been paying my rent by standing order and every so often making an extra payment to address any shortfall that occurs when the utilities change. In QF I just tag each bank transaction as a rent payment and autocreate an invoice to match it.
I’m not sure how sensible that is but I do know that it in previous years it has all added correctly up and everything is accounted for ). However, at some point I have created a receipt in the App for one months bill - around £260. This is an unnecessary receipt as they have already been created when I’ve been tagging the payments.
I’m not sure how best to get rid of this error.
Credit note the duplicate purchase (under the “more options” button at the top of the purchase detail view). If the whole accounting year has not yet been locked then you should even be able to date the credit note the same as the original mistaken purchase.
If the duplicate purchase is not locked then you should just be able to delete it, if it is locked (by a VAT return) then credit note it as above, again with the date set to the same as the original mistaken purchase.
