Quick Summary
This discussion explains the correct journal entries for making advance payments towards the purchase of a fixed asset, such as a computer. It details how to record the initial advance payment, the subsequent purchase of the asset including GST, and the final balance payment to the supplier, ensuring proper accounting for both the asset and the payments made.

Advance Payment Entry:

Dr. Supplier A/c - XXXXX
To, Bank A/c - XXXXX
(Suitable Narration as Advance paid for Computer)


Purchase of Computer:
Dr. Computer A/c - XXXXX
To, Supplier A/c - XXXXX
(Suitable Narration for Computer purchase and it's under Fixed Asset)

Payment Entry (Balance) :
Dr. Supplier A/c - XXXXX
To, Bank A/c - XXXXX
(Suitable Narration as Balance paid to supplier for purchase of Computer)

I will give you practical  example , Computer Costing is Rs 50000/- +GST @ 18 % = 59000( total cost) was purchase from the supplier out of 59000/- Advance payment   Rs 20000/- was made and balance payment Rs 39000/- was made later on when we received Computer and Invoice.

Advance to Supplier A/c Dr 20000/-
To Bank A/c Cr 20000/-
( Advance payment to the supplier)

Advance to Supplier A/c Asset side Balance sheet.


When he send computer along with Invoice pass entry

Computer A/c Dr 50000/-
Input CGST A/c Dr 4500/-
Input SGST A/c Dr. 4500/-
To Supplier A/c Cr. 59000/-
( Invoice booking entry)


Payment entry

Supplier A/c Dr c. 59000/-
To Advance to supplier A/c Cr 20000/-
To Bank A/c Cr 39000/-
( Balance payment made after adjusting advance payment)
