# Advance Payment Entry

Los pagos realizados por el cliente antes de recibir el envío del producto se
denominan Anticipos. Para ordenes de alto costo, los negocios esperan recibir
dcho tipos de pago.


__Por Ejemplo:__ Consider a customer- Jane D'souza placing an order for a double
bed costing $10000 She is asked to give some advance before the furniture
house begins work on her order. She gives them $5000 in cash.


Go to Accounts and open a new Journal Entry to make the advance entry.

> Accounts > Documents > Journal Entry > New Journal Entry

Mention the voucher type as cash voucher. This differs for different
customers. If somebody pays by cheque the voucher type will be Bank Voucher.
Then select the customer account and make the respective debit and credit
entries.

Since the customer has given $5000 as cash advance,it will be recorded as a
credit entry against the customer. To balance it with the debit entry [Double
accounting Entry] enter $5000 as debit against the company's cash account. In
the row "Is Advance" click 'Yes'.

### Double Entry Accounting

Double entry bookkeeping is a system of accounting in which every transaction
has a corresponding positive and negative entry : debits and credits. Every
transaction involves a [debit entry
](http://www.e-conomic.co.uk/accountingsystem/glossary/debit)in one account
and a [credit
entry](http://www.e-conomic.co.uk/accountingsystem/glossary/credit) in another
account. This means that every transaction must be recorded in two accounts;
one account will be debited because it receives value and the other account
will be credited because it has given value.

Save and submit the JV. If this document is not saved it will not be pulled in
other accounting documents.

When you make a new Sales Invoice for the same customer, mention the advance
in the Sales Invoice Form.

To link the Sales Invoice to the Journal Entry which mentions the advance
payment entry, click on ‘Get Advances Received’.  Allocate the amount of
advance in the advances table. The accounting will be adjusted accordingly.
