Can't figure out how to do this journal entry

SOLVED

From the accountant I have this general journal entry to make:


But as you can probably guess, I do not know how to make this entry in the General Journal since one cannot access the subledgers that way, that is, one cannot make a general journal entry to 2100 Accounts Payable.


At this point I have explored the General Journal,

and the Payments Journal, which doesn't work either because it wants me to select from where the payment is made.


I could figure this out easily enough if the books were still manual ;) Not sure how to translate this into Sage 50... is anyone able to solve this dilemma?

Thanks,

Kristine

    You cannot do a general journal entry when it involves Account Receivable or Account Payable accounts as you have already discovered. In your case you need to create a new vendor (if not already set up) for your accountant. Then in the purchase module you will enter his invoice as shown - 3000.00 to acct nbr 5610 and if you are using Tax Codes then you would need to select the GST Tax code. Then you can go into the Payment module to pay the invoice.

    Anytime your accountant gives you a general journal entry that affects the A/R or A/P account nbrs you will have to find out who the customers or suppliers/vendors are and process them thru A/R module or A/P module.
