An expense has been partly paid by debit card and part with a coupon. Can you advise me on how to enter this so that the debit card portion appears and tallys with bank

Hi Windylindy24-7,

To to this you would need to record the expense on a bill. After creating the bill, select 'Make payment' and choose the debit card under the 'Bank/Credit account', and edit the amount paid. This will leave an unpaid balance on the bill which was the amount you paid with the coupon.

Next, create a service for the coupon by going to sales > products and services > new > service. Rename this to 'coupon' and select an income account for the service.

After this, go to the suppliers page and create a supplier credit. Correct the payment date and under 'Item details', select the coupon under 'Product/service' and enter the amount paid.

To tie this to the remaining bill payment, click on 'Make payment' against the bill. This will show the bill ticked against the credit.
