Hello,

This is an interesting thread. I have a somewhat similar issue thats confusing me. 

When I buy goods/inventory I send advance payments for the order. It takes about 4-6 months for the stock to reach me which is when I usually create a Supplier Bill and enter the input of inventory. 

My issue is as follows. 

1. I've created an asset account for my supplier. When I make a deposit it goes to this account. 

Type: Current Assets

Detail: Inventory 

2. When the goods arrive as explained above I create a Supplier Bill. 

3. My issue is now when I want to make a payment for these goods. I've already paid for them and the finances is detailed in the Asset Account for my Supplier. However I cannot seem to find any way of assigning those funds accumulated to the goods already received which are already paid for. 

Any help/pointers much appreciated. 

Thanks everyone
