Record a payment or receipt other than for a vendor bill

When you need to receive or make a payment that does not require an invoice you can enter these details as Other Payment or Other Receipt.

It is not uncommon to receive payments or make payments which do not require the generation of an invoice or your vendor may not send you one. For example, you may buy stationery from a one-off vendor, make payment on the day, and obtain a receipt but no invoice. The Other Payment or Other Receipt option allows you to enter the transaction without a vendor or customer, or any payment terms.

To do this:

1. Go to Banking and click the relevant bank account.
2. Click New Entry and from the drop-down list click Expense / Payment or Sale / Receipt.
3. Click the Other Payment or Other Receipt tab and add any details.
4. Click Save.

If this is a payment you make regularly, you can now record this as a recurring entry.
