Answer / k.ganesh

For Bill Received from Your Customer your supposed post it
on the Bill date itself.
And for Cheque Received from your Customer, if you post as
per the date in the instrument in your books and deposit it
on the next day it will be shown in the difference of BRS at
the end of month under the head of Cheque deposited but not
Cleared. It's Better to Post the Depositing Date as Cheque
date to avoid these type of confusions.

Answer / muhammed ansar

when we receive an invoice from the creditor it should be recorded on the invoice date itself. On the other hand in case of a cheque it is better to record it on the recieving date.
Cheque is treated as same like cash. When it comes in our hand it is supposed to be credited to the creditors account. In case of any bounce ; it can be returned .
