415 views 11 replies
Dear All Respected Members,

Happy New Year to All.

please educate me on following:

suppose, our client gave us a service order in which they mentioned traveling charges separately.

we spend only Rs.2,000 for traveling but in service order Rs. 20,000 were allowed us.

client representative asked me to claim full Rs. 20,000 for traveling.

in this condition, how can we record in our accounts when we spend less from allowed amount?

Further, please let me know will extra amount be considered as income? and what would be it's accounting?

Thanks for your precious time and efforts to reply this query.

Dear Raja PM Sir,

Thanks for your reply but I am unable to understand. could you please elaborate?
For accounting purpose
2k should be recorded as Expense
20k should be recorded as Income.

For income purpose unspent amount will be added to your gross amount
In this query,
No more difficult, it's very basic accounting and entries. So, elaborate is no more...

1. (- we spend only Rs.2,000 for traveling)

- This is Your expenditure for the travelling aginst Your the service. So it's Expenditure account.

I said -> 2k is expense account

2. (- in service order Rs. 20,000 were allowed us)

This is Your Service Order and client also accept the value. So, You can raise 20k for travelling charges in Your invoice. So it's Your income.
I said -> 20k is income account...

Dear Raja PM Sir,

first of all, thanks for your reply again.

second, I would like to tell you that I am very fresh student of accounts that is why I take some time to understand reply of members against my query regarding accounting.

in above reply you are saying that 20k is my income, matter is that I am claiming both amount service fee and traveling charges in one invoice that is why I want to know how to record transaction in My accounting software (Busy Accounting Software).

please let me know what would be journal entry for both service fee and traveling charges when we claim both in one invoice as mentioned above?

please reply it to keep in mind that a fresh accounting student is asking question. 

Elaborate
Kind response awaited from Raja PM Sir.
