07 May 2012 There r 2 options u can either show debit balance in creditors account as net creditors after subtracting debit balance from credit balance and show only net credit balance. or better and correct option would be to show debit balance as advance received from creditors.

08 May 2012 but, it is not advances. That party has received amt behalf of us. E.g. We are given contract to ABC for collection of outstanding from our custmers. ABC collect Rs.3 lacs and raised the bill of Rs. 0.25 lac. So, rs. 2.75 receivable from ABC. Now problem is that ABC is our supplier,we maintain its ledger in creditors, now if the a/c of his in minus, so should i considered as a debtor for temperary or maintain the other ledger.
