Accounting

Supplier Invoices will be received for various items and, therefore, need to be disbursed to different accounts. To simplify the Accounting, all the Supplier Invoices will Debit a suspense account named Suspense SI, which is a Current Asset account.

The Suspense SI account is a temporary account that needs to be cleared before the end of every accounting period.
