you should book the liabity in your books on the date when the ownership of goods transferred to you. So in this case if the risks and reward of goods has been transferred to you on the date of dispatch then you will book these invoices on 18/04/11. And if the risk transfer at the time of delivery in your godown (as you said in your case "on my behalf') then you will book these invoices on 19/04/2011. In both the cases if the books are closed monthly then you will have to show this amount in 'Inventory in transit' also.
