It would be fantastic if we could offset debtors and creditors.
Whether it is a link that you set up on the customer/vendor file so that when paying a vendor, the customer link pops up or vice versa so that only the net gets paid if you have offset any invoices or some other idea but it would be very useful.
At present I do it with an OFFSET bank account but it would be so much better if it was an option in Accpac itself.

  • There is a third party program from Systronics that already does this.

  • It should be part of the standard product and the last time I looked at the Systronics product it didn't do it that neatly.

  • Great idea. It would also be great to offset PR against AR ie. if an employee is a customer and has a payroll deduction to pay for their account.

  • Peresoft cashbook ( http://www.peresoft.co.za ) allows one to do exactly this and a whole lot more besides.

  • Any update on this improvement?

  • Its called the contra entry

  • Why isn't this part of the planned updates for Sage... suppliers that are also customers...contra entry is not new

  • 140 votes is significant for the number of users in this forum. This idea has been waiting many years, cruelly unloved and ignored.
