The excess paid amount shall treat as Advance paid for Material purchases. For this purpose either you can grouped such supplier account under current assets as on 31-3-2013 then the balance will be positive and the time of such material received pass the following entry i.e on 30-4-2013 pass the entry
Purchases a/c dr 50000 To Supplier a/c 50000 (Being purchases made against the advance made through invoice no.XXX)
Then supplier balance will be zero.
Instead of grouping supplier account under current assets on 31-3-2013 you can pass the following entry
Advance to material a/c dr 50000 To Supplier a/c 50000 (Being the balance amount receivable from the supplier against the material receiving from him is treating as advance paid to Material since transfer)
Then supplier account will be zero on 31-3-2013. Advance to material a/c shall be grouped under current assets.
On the date of receipt of material i.e on 30-4-2013 pass the following entry
Material a/c dr 50000 To Advance to material a/c 50000 (Being material purchased from the supplier against excess amount paid to him and which is treated as advance paid amount now the material received and adjusted)
