Direct Invoice should create a Sales Order and on Delivery, the Invoicing occurs. Hence payment is a separate entry for such tracking.

Continues to drive me nuts, so many extra unnecessary steps....
the problem is that with each step there is potential to make mistake...
e.g. even though the supplier is 'cash only' payments default to current account....
so I keep accidently entering payment as from current account, and because they are immediately posted to GL, no chance to amend
same with dates...

so I end up making mods directly to the mysql tables... which is not good practice....

are there better ways to quickly enter a load of cash transactions with suppliers ?

I'm having a frustrating time with this, using version 2.3.25

I add a supplier and set the AP account for the suppler to Petty Cash

Using Direct Invoice I add the detail, hit process. Correctly in the GL I get CR Petty cash and DR the appropriate expense account(s) much as I would expect...

BUT these direct invoices all remain unpaid until I then manually create payment from petty cash - which result in both a dr and cr in petty cash for the same amount, i.e creating a redundant transaction in the GL

So am I missing something or is this a bug ?

Cash Supplier Account is the Payment Account should be Petty Cash. Whilst the expense account / asset account is the contra one as the case may be (if written off or capitalised respectively).

Use your petty cash account. This should be established as a bank account. Then you can use this at both selling and purchasing.

Hi Joe,
Thanks for your reply. So I guess I need to add one supplier (for the example I give its name "Cash"). And then in manage supplier page, I use Petty Cash Account for the "Accounts Payable Account". Is it correct?

EDIT:
Or I just need to enter direct invoice and then enter the payment and choose Petty Cash Account in "From Bank Account" option?
