Whether the advance received from debtors should be shown as liability or it should shown in Sundry debtors with negative value?
I know the net effect will same, but want to know the exact treatment in the books of accounts for better presentation. Many of the companies showing it in sundry debtors with negative value and other as current liabilities.

its remain the debtors, but if advance payment, not set with the sale then you have to show in Balance sheet seperately as advance from the debtors, under the current liability

Thanks for your reply. But I seen in audited Balance sheet of one company (Signed Balance sheet by CA), they showed it under sundry debtors with negative value. So they done a wrong treatment in that, or whether alternative is possible.
