( Being  Creditors  W/off  for long  out standing ) 

- Creat  Sundery  Creditors  W/off  A/c  under  Indirect  Income  under  Profit  & Loss  A/C 

 

Sorry  some correction is requried  in above entry , please do consider  above entry

SO BASICALLY U R SAYING CREATE ADV TO CR LEDGER

BUT THEN ENTRY WILL BE...

ADV TO SUPP A/C  DR

    TO BANK A/C  

???

 

you are correct   you 1st  entry will be 

1) Advance  to Creditors  A/c   Dr  

    To Bank                                 Cr 

( Being  advance paid  to creditors )  . Advance to creditors a/c will be under Loans & Advance in Asset  side . No GST on advacne payment  for goods . 

 

Now  you  have  not  received  the goods nither  the invoice  for long  time 

so you  can W/off  by passing following  entry 

2) Goods lost      A/c                        Dr

   (  Being  goods  not  received  , Ad W/off )

You may also creat  Goods  not  received  A/c  insted  of  Goods  lost  . under profit & loss A/c  direct  Exp .
