Customer trade-ins and special purchases by owners or employees

Purchases made using owner's funds. Sometimes an owner makes a purchase on behalf of the company and uses personal funds to pay for it. You can use MYOB AccountEdge to enter these special purchases in your records.

Trade-ins. If your business accepts trade-ins, you can accurately record your trade-in sales using AccountEdge. To do this, you'll need customer and vendor cards for each trade-in customer. You'll also have to create a special inventory item called "Trade-in" that you'll use to decrease the amount due from the customer for the sale to which the trade-in will be applied.

When you process both the customer's sale and your purchase of the trade-in item, the customer's invoice will be reduced by the amount of the trade-in. Your purchase of the customer's item will be fully paid, and the trade-in will be entered into your inventory.
