If you receive a payment from a customer, or make a payment to a supplier when no invoice is available, you can post a payment on account and allocate it to the invoice later in Sage 50 Accounts.

1. On the navigation bar click Bank accounts then select the required bank account.
2. Click Supplier payment or Customer receipt, then select the required customer or supplier.
3. Enter the Date, then the required value in the Amount box and click Save.
   
   

   If you're using VAT cash accounting, enter the Tax Code that will match the invoice when received.

4. For the confirmation message that appears asking to post a payment on account, select Yes.

 TIP: In v28.1 and above, the Ex. reference field was added to this window for recording reference detail.
