Hi I have searched for a solution but not found one. The answer may lay in the General Ledger but I have not been able to get that to work and balance.
I have two suppliers, one (A) is an installer the other (B) a materials supplier. The installer SHOULD organise his own materials but inevitable he runs short on site and use one of my accounts to purchase items he is short of. It is managing the cross charging of these purchases that is giving me a headache. Supplier B sends me an invoice and I enter it and analyse it to the appropriate expense ledger. I pay the invoice. Supplier A invoices me for the work and again I enter it and analyse it to the appropriate expense ledger. However, his invoice is based on a fixed [rice that included the supply of materials o when I analyse his invoice the expenses ledger is over valued by the amount of the materials I have bought on his behalf. So to remedy this I enter an entry that debits the expenses and credits his account. The balance I owe him is reduced by the value of the materials I have bought him. So now, Supplier A is paid and his ledger balanced, his invoice show PAID. The expenses ledger correctly states the value of work done as the duplicated item has been journaled (that old fashioned system!) out and cross charged to supplier B. Even supplier B’s account is correct and once I pay him a reduced sum his ledger balances to zero. NOW HERE IS THE PROBLEM When I try to record Supplier B’s invoice as PAID through the system it accepts the payments from the bank but will not allow me to pay supplier B with the cross charged entry, presumable because it is not seen as an asset account? Consequently my account all balance and are correct but I cannot record his invoice as paid in the Gnucash system and it annoyingly comes up as an unpaid entry every time I open the software or check for unpaid invoices. Can anyone offer me a solution please?
