Transactions in FirstOffice - Payments

A Payment is the Purchase Ledger equivalent of a Receipt: it is the transaction that occurs when you pay a supplier's Purchase Invoice. In the Nominal Ledger, the raising of a Payment debits the Creditor Account and credits the Bank or Cash Account. When you enter a Payment, you will allocate it against the appropriate Invoice(s), and the consequences in the Nominal Ledger will be handled automatically.

When Nominal Ledger Transactions are generated from Payments, the Accounts used are selected as follows.

Creditor Control Account
The Creditor Control Account for the Purchase Invoice being paid will be transferred to the Payment. For details of how this is calculated, please refer to the 'Creditor Control Account' section of the Purchase Invoices page.

Bank or Cash Account
The Bank or Cash Account posting will be determined from the Payment Modes setting. This is used to store different payment methods, such as cheque, cash, credit card. Each payment method can be attached to a different Account, perhaps reflecting the use of different bank accounts.
