Deferred Payment Accounting in Payables
I did a setup for deferred payment in accounts payable. All the setups were properly done but whenever i raise a deferred payment transaction and run the complete Multiperiod Accounting Program, the accounting entries are wrong.
For example:
The company pays for services in advance of $12,000.00 and expects to amortize over a period of 12 months (Jan-Dec).
Expected entries
1. Dr Prepayment account $12,000.00
Cr Vendor/Supplier account $12,000.
Jan Amortization
2. Dr Expense account $1,000.00 Item Expense
Cr Prepayment account $1,000.00 Expense
Actual entries
Jan Amortization
2. Dr Expense account $1,000.00 . Item Expense
Cr Expense account $1,000.00 Expense
The amortization entries is posted into the same account nominated in the distribution line for the transaction. I have done the mapping set and updated the input account combinations.
