Recording Supplier Deposits and Balances

Track the agreed supplier total, recorded payments and remaining balance without confusing a record with a payment transfer.

Match the supplier agreement

Record the full agreed amount and any due dates from the actual invoice or contract. Keep the deposit as part of the total; adding it as a separate extra expense can double-count the commitment.

Record payment evidence

Update the paid amount after confirming a payment with the supplier. DEVENT’s budget records do not themselves transfer supplier payments or establish that a supplier received funds. Keep your receipt through the agreed business process.

Worked example · illustrative details

A deposit on a A$2,000 service

A supplier charges A$2,000 with a A$500 deposit. After that deposit is confirmed, record A$500 paid and A$1,500 outstanding. The event cost remains A$2,000, rather than A$2,500.
