  1. i entered additional costs so that they can increase my cost of stock items. but this also increases the ledger amount of the Seller. For example, I purchased from Mr.Supplier for Rs.100/-. When I entered additional cost of Rs.10 then Mr. Supplier's ledger shows that I have to pay him Rs.110/- but Rs. 10 is my company's expense. How to resolve this problem?

    1. You have to do entry in journal 10Rs by debit Mr. Supplier’s and credit additional cost.

  2. Hello! Could u please advise how to excel datum (freight/customs duty/expenses) if we opened purchase voucher as voucher (with all additional cost information). Thanks.
