situation 1: Agent can’t carry on with the statement from year 2018 to 2019, they must cut it at / by the end of the year. So after we have settled the year 2018 with them, then we start the new balance from the beginning of 2019.
L: As per our arrangement for the paying party to alternate each year, for Jan, the other party will be making the payment this year.

Also a problem is we get a lot of trouble by paying from China, so if we can reduce the bank transfer, it’s a better solution for our settlement.
I’m getting the instruction from my accounting manager that we strike balance (settled) already,
then we settle as low as we can / for a minimum. As / Since paying / collecting is increasing bank charges.
Also I’m wondering why your office didn’t confirm the recent invoices and only pushed for settling this account.
