06 July 2024 To account for the sale of a two-wheeler to a customer through a showroom where the customer arranges financing through a finance company, you would typically follow these steps in your accounting system:

1. Initial Sale Entry (For Down Payment):

Assume the total selling price of the two-wheeler is Rs. X, and the customer pays a down payment of Rs. Y. The balance amount (Rs. X - Y) is financed by the finance company.

• Dr. Bank Account (Y): Record the receipt of the down payment amount in your bank account.
• Cr. Sales Account (Y): Record the revenue from the sale of the two-wheeler.

2. Financing Arrangement:

The finance company provides the balance amount (Rs. X - Y) directly to the showroom on behalf of the customer.

• Dr. Bank Account (Rs. X - Y): Record the receipt of the balance payment from the finance company.
• Cr. Finance Company Payable Account (Rs. X - Y): Create a liability account to reflect the amount owed to the finance company.

3. Final Entry (Completion of Sale):

Once the entire payment process is completed, and the two-wheeler is delivered to the customer:

• Dr. Finance Company Payable Account (Rs. X - Y): Clear the payable to the finance company.
• Cr. Inventory or Cost of Goods Sold Account (Cost of the Two-Wheeler): Reduce the inventory or record the cost of goods sold for the two-wheeler sold.
• Cr. GST Input Account (if applicable): Record the GST input on the sale.
