1. in accounts it will be shown as trade advances

2.in case of drawing power advance from Debtors should be deducted from other debtors and Advance from creditors should be deducted from other creditors

advance from debtors - its part of liability side - head "advance from customers"

advance to creditors - its part of asset side - head " loans and advances"

for bank's drawing power, advance from debtors are liabilities, and advance to creditors are assets.

Thanks to one and all for solving my previous query.

Here I have another query which is continuation of my previous question No. 2^nd.

Which of the following will have better presentation while calculating DP?

Whether advance paid to creditors should be deducted from total 'Creditors' of a company

Should be added to total debtors

Since while calculating DP there are only chances of Stock, debtors, Creditors, whatever we adjust, it should be adjusted within above said.

And

Also for ‘advance received form ‘debtors’

Thanks in Advance !!

while calculating DP, Debtors less than 90 days are taken in accounts, and creditors balance is negative effect on DP.

as dedcucting the advance from suppliers from debtors does not make any change in creditablity . so the presentation should be in proper way, for all departments, not only for bank credit limits.

Dear Sir

In DP Calculation, in a case, the Debtors are becoming negative after adjusting advance. Where as the Company has considered the value as ZERO (but not negative). In my view, its wrong. Let me know your views.
