In Accounts Payable credit memo and debit memo are entered
with -ve amount but in Accounts Receivable why credit memo
has -ve amonut and debit memo + ve?

Answer Posted / raghuka

In general debit memo for receivables will increse AR
balance and credit memo will decrease.

The assumption in AP is that if there is a difference in
invoice and is noticed by buyer he will send the debit memo
with -ve amount to decrease payable balance, if the
discrepancy is already notified and supplier sends the
credit memo, buyer will record it with -ve sign.

one more way of Anyalyzing is Debit memos are sent by
suppliers to increase their AR balance but when buyer sends
he record with -ve sign

Comments Appreciated.

I have created an invoice and made the payment in Accounts payable. Now the payment status is Negotiable and accounting status is processed. I reconciled the transaction in Cash Mgmt, The status changed from negotiable to Reconciled in CM. I checked the payment status for the invoice in payment window(AP), the payment status changed to RECONCILED UNACCOUNTED i.e correct but the accounting status is remain processed which is not the correct. I hope the transaction will be correct if the accounting status would have changed to PERTIAL . Please suggest any solution for the above query.
