Book Keeping Challenges / Issues
- Chart of Accounts is not sufficient
- One payment can go towards more than one charge
- One charge can be paid for by more than one payment
- Need to know: how much money does customer owe?
- Need to know: how much money has customer been charged for "Rent"?
- Need to know: how much money has customer paid towards "Rent" (nothing else)?
- Reverse a charge
To make charge reversal work, I'm presently issuing a credit note
(transaction) that has 3 ledger entries:
Debit charged account - Credit A/R
Debit A/R - Credit "Credit" account
Debit "Credit" account - Credit A/R
And 3 statement entries:
Reversal on charged account
Negative Disbursement on "Credit" account
Positive Disbursement on "Credit" account
Obviously, the two "Credit" account ledger entries cancel each other
out. However, the monies need to be reversed in the A/R account, and a
previous transaction will have already performed an A/R credit and so
the two A/R credits will create an imbalance in A/R unless we move
those funds to our "Credit" account. The "Credit" account statement
entries are needed to undo any previous disbursement to the charge
being reversed, and then to re-disburse those funds to a different
charge (or possibly just a Surplus entry if no other charges exist.)
