# Journal Entry Structure ## Overview This document explains how journal entries are created when using payment deductions. ## Standard Payment (Without Deductions) For a standard vendor payment of Rp 2,000,000: ``` Account | Debit | Credit ---------------------------|---------------|--------------- Accounts Payable | | Rp 2,000,000 Bank Account | | Rp 2,000,000 ---------------------------|---------------|--------------- TOTAL | Rp 2,000,000 | Rp 2,000,000 ``` Wait, that's not right. Let me correct: ``` Account | Debit | Credit ---------------------------|---------------|--------------- Accounts Payable | Rp 2,000,000 | Bank Account | | Rp 2,000,000 ---------------------------|---------------|--------------- TOTAL | Rp 2,000,000 | Rp 2,000,000 ``` ## Payment with Deductions (New Structure) For a vendor payment of Rp 2,000,000 with deductions: - PPh 21: Rp 100,000 - PPh 29: Rp 50,000 - Final payment to bank: Rp 1,850,000 ### Journal Entry: ``` Account | Debit | Credit ---------------------------|---------------|--------------- Expense Account | Rp 2,000,000 | PPh 21 (Tax Payable) | | Rp 100,000 PPh 29 (Tax Payable) | | Rp 50,000 Bank Account | | Rp 1,850,000 ---------------------------|---------------|--------------- TOTAL | Rp 2,000,000 | Rp 2,000,000 ``` ### Explanation: 1. **Expense Account (Debit Rp 2,000,000)** - Records the full expense amount - This is the original payment amount 2. **PPh 21 (Credit Rp 100,000)** - Withholding tax deduction - Creates a liability (you owe this to the tax office) - Reduces the amount paid to vendor 3. **PPh 29 (Credit Rp 50,000)** - Another withholding tax deduction - Also creates a liability - Further reduces the amount paid to vendor 4. **Bank Account (Credit Rp 1,850,000)** - The actual amount paid from bank - Equals: Original Amount - Total Deductions - Equals: Rp 2,000,000 - Rp 150,000 = Rp 1,850,000 ### Why This Structure? This structure correctly represents the business transaction: - You incurred an expense of Rp 2,000,000 - You withheld Rp 150,000 in taxes (which you'll pay to the government) - You paid Rp 1,850,000 to the vendor The deductions are **credits** because: - They represent liabilities (amounts you owe to the tax office) - They reduce the cash outflow - They offset part of the expense ## Example from Screenshot Based on your payment PB5858/2025/00105: ``` Account | Debit | Credit -------------------------------------|-----------------|------------------ 218401 AR Clearing | | Rp 2,000,000.00 611505 Telepon & Internet | Rp 1,850,000.00 | 217101 PPh 21 | | Rp 100,000.00 117104 PPh 29 | | Rp 50,000.00 -------------------------------------|-----------------|------------------ TOTAL | Rp 1,850,000.00 | Rp 2,150,000.00 ``` Wait, this doesn't balance! Let me check the correct structure... Actually, looking at your screenshot again, the correct structure should be: ``` Account | Debit | Credit -------------------------------------|-----------------|------------------ 611505 Telepon & Internet (Expense) | Rp 2,000,000.00 | 217101 PPh 21 (Tax Payable) | | Rp 100,000.00 117104 PPh 29 (Tax Payable) | | Rp 50,000.00 218401 AR Clearing (Bank) | | Rp 1,850,000.00 -------------------------------------|-----------------|------------------ TOTAL | Rp 2,000,000.00 | Rp 2,000,000.00 ``` This is the correct balanced entry that the module will now create! ## Multiple Deductions You can add as many deduction lines as needed. For example: Payment Amount: Rp 5,000,000 - PPh 21: Rp 200,000 - PPh 23: Rp 100,000 - PPh 29: Rp 50,000 - Admin Fee: Rp 25,000 ``` Account | Debit | Credit ---------------------------|---------------|--------------- Expense Account | Rp 5,000,000 | PPh 21 | | Rp 200,000 PPh 23 | | Rp 100,000 PPh 29 | | Rp 50,000 Admin Fee | | Rp 25,000 Bank Account | | Rp 4,625,000 ---------------------------|---------------|--------------- TOTAL | Rp 5,000,000 | Rp 5,000,000 ``` Final Payment: Rp 4,625,000 (= Rp 5,000,000 - Rp 375,000)
