Accrued purchase account with debit balance
Issues:
1: old POs were being billed in full when the company made a deposit instead of using vendor prepayment. ( this process has changed now). But the old process increased our AP balance for some P.O ( we haven’t received the items so we don’t really have a liability ) . Some of those bills were then paid in full, but we haven’t received the items, so they are really prepaid inventory.
2: some of the payments were not made from a bill or P.O, but instead they just issue a “check”
3: some bills were created not from PO ( stand-alone bills
