[Question] Cash Book Receipt allocated to supplier - Pastel Express Vs14

[Sparrow]

Good day,

One of my clients have paid money in my bank account, which needs to be allocated directly to a supplier account as the service being offered to the client is directly through the supplier i make or gain nothing from this particular transaction, the supplier invoice will be captured in the my books, so i have the money reflecting on my bank statement, but i cant in my cash book assign it directly to the specific supplier account as a debit from the cash book receipts.

I have tried capturing it as a sundry income and then allocating it to the supplier through the supplier journal but that did not balance out the sundry income account and i tried the exact same but with the sundry expense account but had the same issue.

Should i being doing a general journal entry?

Any advise welcome

How is the supplier being paid?

If your client has paid you, surely you then need to pay the supplier from your bank account?

If so, then allocate the receipt from your client to a clearing account, and then process a cashbook payment to the supplier account.

You will need to process a customer journal to credit the client and use the Contra account to debit the clearing account.
