Explaining bank transactions with no supplier

Question asked by Jonathan Smith 9 years ago

Hello,

I've imported some bank transactions and a significant number of these are incurred on a debit card with a wide variety of 'suppliers' (ie mainly for subsistence items - Sainsburys, Pret, EAT etc. etc.). As these will not be set up as invoices prior to import, and I do not want to set all of these suppliers up on the system, which entity am I supposed to choose in the 'To' box on the transaction tab while going through the 'explain' process?

If I choose the company's bank account, I get an error message saying 'ClearBooks thinks that subsistence [or any other P&L account item] is not normally associated with a bank account'.

Thanks

Hi Jonathan - this happens alot and so just set up a generic supplier "Sundry supplier" and put them all to there.

One of my clients has Rail, for all rail tickets and Supermarkets for all the office tea & cakes

As you might have gathered I'm test driving the system at the moment. There is a lot to like about it but there are a few things, particularly around the set up process, which I think could be better explained.

Many thanks for the response.

Hi Jonathan - yes, I agree, if you think it might help, send me an email (paul@clearbooks.co.uk) I'll send my checklist for client setup.

Cheers Paul
