Credit note CRN14 was correctly recorded on the statement received from Edge Studios dated 31 March • Do I record this in general journal or the new creditors reconciliation statement (remittance advice) dated 10 May?

Based on the new information:

  1. General Journal:

    • You would not record Credit Note CRN14 in the General Journal again. Bosworth Smith Productions would have recorded this credit note in their General Journal (or Purchases Returns Journal) on 10 April 2023, when they processed it. The initial recording is a one-time event.
  2. New Creditors Reconciliation Statement (dated 10 May):

    • You would not include CRN14 as a reconciling item on a new creditors reconciliation statement dated 10 May.
    • The statement says CRN14 was "correctly recorded on the statement received from Edge Studios dated 31 March 2023."
    • From our previous work, we know Bosworth Smith Productions recorded CRN14 on 10 April 2023.
    • By 10 May, both Bosworth Smith Productions and Edge Studios would have recorded this credit note. Therefore, it would already be reflected in both balances and would not require an adjustment on the reconciliation statement itself. Reconciling items are only for transactions that one party has recorded but the other has not, as of the reconciliation date.
