HI

Our electricity supplier, E-On, like others, sends us a bill every month but takes a direct debit payment from us at a standard rate each month.

So that means there is always an amounting outstanding or underpaid.

What is the best way to enter the standard payment each month. I have tried entering an Invoice Payment, but what if there isn't an invoice with a balance to pay, i.e. we are running into credit with E-On?

Tried to find a topic on this as I'm sure it's been raised before but couldn't find it.

TIA

Hi Clive,

I think the best way to handle that is to create a Money Paid Out transaction each month with the Type field set to 'Advance Payment'. Later when you receive the bill record a Purchase Invoice in the usual way - you will then be given the choice to allocate any outstanding advance payments to that invoice.

Regards,

Thanks Mark
