I Guess this is right Then :ohmy:
or no one hear knows anything about sage 50.:mad2:
I Would like your help but its ok will look else where :ohmy:0 -
I'm not entirely clear on what you're saying but I'll give you the postings if you're doing what I think you're doing. My understanding is that you are paying the bank loan personally. I'm assuming that the bank is still taking the money from the business bank account but that there's insufficient money in the account, is that correct? So the entries that are already happening are:
DR Bank Loan with the capital (account 2300)
DR Loan Interest with the interest (account 7901)
CR Bank with the total payment
If all you;re now doing is putting money into the business bank account to cover the payment then you only need to do:
DR Bank account
CR Directors Loan Account (I'd use a code in the 3000's) assuming you are a director and that it's a limited company not a partnership in which case it needs to go to capital
There are several things confusing me, if it's a limited company then the business should be the one liable for the debt not you personally. However, if when you took out the loan you agreed to cover it personally then I'm not sure a directors loan account is the right way to go. You'd need to speak to someone with more experience and who knows your circumstances in more detail.0 -
Also the fact that you asked what to do when the business repays you, if there's money to repay you then why do you need to put money in to cover the repayment? Sorry, I've probably mis understood something in your original post0

I Have not set up a Directors Loan Account
Have a Loan with a bank in joint names
have to pay half of loan off which i have done already from my personal bank account
the business is not Ltd
at some point the business will be able to pay me back well one hopes
thank you for your help0 -
Firstly, I am sorry to hear of your wife's passing.
If the business is not ltd. then you are not a director and cannot have a directors loan account. I am not sure what the nominal codes are in sage but if you haven't got any for 'drawings/capital' then rename the directors loan account nominal to 'capital introduced'. Enter the payment that you have made as Dr Loan (2300) and Cr Capital Introduced. This amount will then show in your proprietors account as a credit in the accounts.
Continue to enter the repayments as normal.0 -
Thank You Gem0
