Receipts and payments you can’t use to pay invoices

Other Receipts or Other Payments are one off payments you can't use to pay a sales or purchase invoice.

We advise using these for:

• Cash purchases where you don't buy from a regular supplier, or don't have an invoice. For example, buying petrol or office supplies
• Cash sales where you sell to a customer over the counter and don't send them an invoice

How these are different to customer receipt and supplier payment

When you record Other Payments and Other Receipts, you include information you don't need when paying an invoice. This includes:

• The VAT rate and amount
• The ledger account to record the amount of the sale or purchase

We can’t use these transactions to pay existing invoices.
