ACCOUNTING 的INVOICE的问题, 请教高人

lifengj

有个问题想请教大家, 我们收到了一张INVOIC,因为是英国的,所以不是TAX  INVOICE, 不会影响我们的GST.

因为是小公司,所以我是公司唯一全职的ACCOUNTS, SUPERVISOR是个英国女人,一周3天,她之前是做FINANCE的,我也不懂为什么让他来做我的SUPERVISOR, 另外是DEBT COLLECTION,一周2天. 这张INVOICE是5月20日,她说没有任何一个公司会允许BACK DATE两个月,我们必须把POSTING DATE作为CURRENT  DATE,所以POSTING DATE就是7月6日, 但这样一来, 如果PAYMENT TERM 是60天, 在7月底做AGING REPORT的时候不就看不见了吗?  

不过她说5月的BAS的已经交了,PURCHASE不能更改了,虽然可以AMEND,但似乎影响AGING REPORT更大,如果以后每张都这么做, AGING REPORT 岂不没用了?我记的AGING REPORT是来自于POSTING DATE的,之前的SUPERVISOR也是这么说, POSTING DATE IS ALWAYS INVOICE DATE.

到底哪个对呢? OFFICE MANAGER 也说英国女人的对,虽然她们两个都不是ACCOUNTING 出身,连DOUBLE  ENTRY BOOKKEEPING都不知道为何物.

If it relates with oversea purchase, the forwarder agent will arrange GST portion to ATO beacuse the GST should calculate from invoice amount x duty rate + import cost. Then your company should arrange reimbursment gst amount back to forwarder agent and calim gst in following bas.

For the post date, it depends on oversea supplier contract term: most of them using invoice date as beginning date. some might not worries about their payment and agreed with your post date as beginning date. check with supplier is the best way.

Posting Date 和 Docmument Date的区别。做office manager不需要accounting background的，只需要commercial sense就行了。请你来就是让你做entry的。

这不说她在瞎指挥吗...加上那英国女人,我也是不很确定自己是不是对的, 所以才上来问大家. 你的意见是我对还是那英国女人对?

我是来做ENTRY的,但有SUPERVISOR在,我也比较无奈.

Why can't you post it as the 1st of June 2010?
The BAS for June is not due and the aging report will only be a month behind.
Your supplier will always treat it as May invoice, and they will chase money when due. And if you record it as May on your side, it probably will effect your monthly report.
I would post it as June invoice.

大姐手很快, JUNE的BAS已经做完了...

If there are any invoices missed from previous periods, always key the date as the first day of current period and payment is due as the agreements.

虽然AP我也不是很熟悉, 但是我的理解是, INVOICE DATE应该是DOCUMENT DATA, AGING REPORT应该BASING ON DOCUMENT DATE而不是POSTING DATE. POSTING DATE应该就只能是在CURRENT PERIOD里面的某一天, 你以前SUPERVISOR 说按照POSTING DATE RUN AGING REPORT 肯定是不对的.

英国女人说的是对的, 你没可能现在把这张发票POST到五月里面, 帐都CLOSE了怎么能再改呢. 而且你做AGEING REPORT的方法也有问题.

AGING REPORT有什么问题呢? 请指教啊.

AGING REPORT不能BASING ON POSTING DATE

楼主，你们都对的。
如果公司大一点，绝对不允许 back dated的。
BAS那些可以做ADJUSTMENT，但是跨年了，如果都CLOSE就最好不改了。

Report怎么做要看你用过的会计软件。我用过两个会计软件，好多功能根本不一样。

但是aging report是depends on invoices date的，这样才出来的result是准确地把。不过你要post　ｌｅｄｇｅｒ后才能被ｉｎｃｌｕｄｅ在里面的吧。

我们公司更死，是绝对不可以back date的，每个月3号以后就不可以改上个月的东西了。

如果因此影响aging report ，数额大的话，只能用excel来manually adjust了。

我也同意楼上的一位解决方法，把invoice date写在1/06。反正你们还没有file annual returns.

感觉是这样，不知道对不对。

We use SAP. So we need to put both posting date which is the date you do the entry, and the invoice/document data which is the date showed on the invoice.

When you prepare the BAS, it's based on the posting data. You cannot process anything which has not been in the system. However, basically the Aging Report should be based on the invoice date unless it's an oversea supplier & you agreed otherwise.
