I have prepaid supplier for corn seed through an FCC Crop Input loan. How do I handle the transaction and then how do I handle the transaction in Ag Analyst when the seed actually arrives in the spring?
Hi Angela. Enter that as a zero dollar withdrawal and then you have a choice. You'll need an L+ line to record the loan and then either of the following two options:
If you want the expense in the year of the payment to the supplier then you'll use EX as your second line and there is no need to do anything in the spring. This is what we typically see producers use.
If you want the expense claimed next year then you'll use an A+ line to prepaid items and then in the spring do an adjustment (A- to EX) to claim the expense as the seed is delivered.
