Supplier Management

The supplier management allows you to record, organize, and manage supplier information, enabling you to keep track of supplier transactions and payments, payment deadlines, and contact information. You can monitor due invoices, paid invoices, and the account balance for each supplier, as well as the total open balance.

Supplier management is one of the features of Banana Accounting Plus available in all accounting applications.

Supplier master data settings include both revenue and cash management. Foreign currency supplier accounts can also be managed.

The function of making supplier invoice payments via e-banking is only available in the Advanced plan.

Recording Supplier Transactions

The Transactions table is the heart of Banana Accounting and is used to record all operations, including supplier transactions, simply by specifying the supplier's account. You can work quickly because you can select, copy, and paste supplier transactions that have been entered previously. If you make any mistakes, you can always correct them.

The supplier transactions recorded in the Transactions table include the following:

• Receiving invoices
• Making invoice payments
• Receiving credit notes or refunds
• Managing payments via e-banking

There are columns where you can enter various pieces of information, including:

• Date of the Transaction, Due Date, and Payment Date.
• Invoice number.
• Debit and Credit Accounts where you specify the supplier's account (Credit) and the counterpart account (Debit).
• Amount.
• VAT codes for the automatic calculation of VAT
• Links to Digital Documents (such as the invoice received from the supplier or PDF annotations).

Supplier accounts are used to record all transactions related to a company's suppliers.

The main functions of supplier accounts are as follows:

• Create an Account for Each Supplier and Track All Transactions.
• Record Received Invoices for Each Supplier.
• Create an E-banking Payment Order Directly from the Supplier Invoice.
• Record Payments to Suppliers and Associate Them with Received Invoices.
• Generate Lists for Payment Verification.

In Banana Accounting Plus:

• Supplier accounts and their Addresses (name, surname, company name, address, VAT number, etc.) are set up in the Accounts table.
• Accounting transactions related to these accounts are entered in the Transactions table.
• After each entry, all supplier account balances (Accounts table) are automatically updated, providing an immediate overview of outstanding balances yet to be paid.

Recording Received Invoices

The invoice received from the supplier is used for accounting and tax purposes as it allows for the accurate recording of a company's costs and expenses, as well as the calculation of VAT.

In Banana Accounting, invoices are recorded in the Transactions table by:

• Entering the date and description.
• Adding an invoice number.
• Recording the cost account in the Debit column and the supplier account in the Credit column.
• Specifying the VAT code for goods or services purchased. Calculations and VAT amounts are automatically inserted.

Recording Payments

In Banana Accounting, payments are recorded in the Transactions table using one of the following methods:

• Manual Recording:
  • Enter the date and description.
  • In the Invoice column, specify the supplier's account. A dropdown menu will display the open invoices. Simply select the invoice received from the supplier, press Enter, and the program will automatically fill in the supplier's account in the Debit column, along with the invoice amount. Basta poi Then, enter the cash account in the Credit column to complete the recording.

• Data Import from Bank Statements Using Rules
  • The program imports data from ISO 20022 bank statements, and with the use of Rules, it automatically enters complete transactions, including all necessary details, without the need for manual intervention.

Outstanding Invoices
