    How to offset an AR Customer from an Auditor Entry

    Issue: How can I credit a customer in the AR subledger when they did not pay cash?

    I received this auditor entry:

     

    Account DR CR

    1200 - AR Related party 6,372

    1202 - AR Related party 194,408

    2680 - Loan from shareholders 709,751

    2682 - Loan from related party  60,000

    3350 - Common shares 957,787

     

    I dont want to just post the 6,372 to AR, I want to credit it to the actual customer.  

    Any solutions?

     Yes,

    Find out from the auditor, and the directors what they want you to do.  That's not a flippant answer, you really do need to know some more details. 

    As far as posting entries to A/R, as long as you know the actual customer, split up the entry, and record the part related to a/r on a line in an Invoice screen to the appropriate receivable account, changing the G/L account entry to the appropriate offsetting account.

    Summary entries like this are commonly passed off to clients as how to get to 'The Answer', but you'll want to enter them in more detail.  If there's a dozen adjustments in the $6,732, for instance, and some of them relate to GST, Payroll, Inventory, etc. then just forcing in the final total will only add confusion.

    Thank you for your response.  

     

    I know all the details, I need to credit $6,372 to a particular customer that is all.  There is only one adjustment.  Just not sure how to do this

     ...record the part related to a/r on a line in an Invoice screen to the appropriate receivable account,...

    If the G/L account column is not visible, click on View | Customize Journals | Columns.   Press control-J to be sure you're debiting / crediting the right account.

    The A/R ledger can be entered through the invoice screen.

    Is the invoice screen = Create a negative invoice for that customer? Will this reverse the amounts to the revenue account? Because I do not want it to do that.  

     

    Sorry for the newbishness
