Sales > Dealing with a supplier who is also a customer
If your business sells goods and services to a business from which you also make purchases, you need to record the transactions using a separate customer and supplier card. You can then record a contra payment to offset the receivable and payable amounts.
Before you can record contra payments, you need to create a bank account called Contra Suspense. For more information on creating accounts, see Setting up accounts.
