How much is the advance payment?
Advance payment refers to the amount paid by an enterprise to a supplier in advance in monetary funds or monetary equivalents in accordance with the provisions of the purchase contract. In daily accounting, prepayments are recorded according to the actual amount paid, such as prepayments for materials, purchases, and prepayments for agricultural and sideline products that must be paid first and then recovered.
Prepaid accounts belong to the asset category, where the borrower registers the prepayment made by the enterprise to the supplier and the lender registers the prepayment received by the enterprise for the purchased goods that should be carried forward. At the end of the period, the debit balance reflects the prepaid payment that the enterprise has paid to the supplier but has not yet delivered. If it is the final credit balance, it reflects that the enterprise has not paid for goods and services.
