I could never get my head round these in theriory now I have to do them at work ! let me give u an example
we have six periods jan - june 1-6 for example so here goes
Prepayments
1) Invoice dated period 1 covers p2,p3,p4 rent for example
invoice goes on purchase ledger p1 then full total gets split over 2/3/4
via prepay ments ? Right
2)What if same happens but covers p3p4p5 do u do the same but the prepayment is split over 3/4/5???
Accurals
3)anything that is dated feb(p2) but relates to jan (p1) goes through as p1 accurals , actuall invoice goes through purchase ledger P2
4)Invoice comes in dated p5 but relates to p2 goes through p4 accurals ?
5)invoice comes in dated p2 but it is now p6 what do i do with that ?
Any help ???
thanks in advance
