Set up an article group for advance payment

For the journalising of articles still to be delivered for which there is already an invoice, you set a general ledger account in the article group. You do this for all article groups for which there are articles that you sell and deliver using advanced payment.

Between the creation of an invoice and the actual delivery there is a period of time. To make it clear that an invoice has still not been processed but that the delivery is made or vice versa, these entries are placed in a suspense account. For delivered articles for which an invoice has still not been sent (the most common order processing method), you set up the account Delivered articles acc.. For articles that have not yet been delivered but for which you have already made an invoice (such as for advance payment), you use the account Articles to be delivered acc..

3. Go to the tab: General.
4. Select the account for Articles to be delivered account.
