This is so great. I've been using you're method for 2 weeks and it saves me so much time. I do have a question on crediting/ debiting Accounts Receivable. If I do encounter a customer that does not pay, do I have to create an invoice for that specific customer? And when I receive the payment? At the moment, I received a payment towards A/R, I created a Bank account, titled it A/R clearing. From the sales receipt I routed the product/ service to A/R clearing and matched it to the specific customers invoice.
@5MinuteBookkeeping10 ай бұрын
I don't know what type of business you have, but normally if you're selling something on terms, it's best to enter an Invoice in QBO to track the receivable from that customer. When that customer pays, you enter a customer payment and apply it to the invoice.

@phantomswagger93632 жыл бұрын
The proper way to do this is to make it as an invoice, not a sales receipt. You'd have a few lines for various sales items (depending on how you want to categorize), a negative line for discounts, a line for tips received (if relevant), and an adjusting line for sales tax (rounding difference between a single transaction and multiple transactions). Then, you receive payments based on type (cash, check, credit card, gift card). When you make the deposit, you grab the relevant payments, subtract any fees, and the deposit should match what's showing on your bank statement. Your "Cash on Hand" account, and the other clearing accounts mentioned, are redundant since you should already have "Undeposited Funds".

Hi Danielle. If the amounts received from the merchant service is net of fees, you also have to record the fees. You would need to record a split deposit for the amount received. For example, if the sale is $1000, the fee is $25, and amount received is $975, then the split deposit would be as follows: Visa/MC/Discover/AmEx clearing account $1000 Merchant fees -$25

Hi Toni, You can set up Income account categories in the chart of accounts for each department.

You could also use Classes in QBO for each department, but you'd have to use QBO Plus. I recommend entering the sales either daily or weekly. I don't recommend entering sales monthly because it's harder to reconcile to amounts received.

It looks the graphs are linked to the total of sales receipts. I was wondering if we could reflect the sales amounts on the total of sales receipts ? I tried using a neutral account type( maybe a trust account) with an item linked to it and retype the sales amount in the correpsing row but I'm afraid I'll mess up the balance sheet .

Thank you for the clear tutorial. I've usd this method. Only concern I have is that with a sales receipt Zero'ed out it doesnt register the tax amount properly. When you go to Sales Tax (Tab) it doesnt reflect an accurate number. It only reflects actual sales that have been invoiced through QB. D you have a solution for this?
@5MinuteBookkeeping3 жыл бұрын
You would not be able to use the sales tax tab in QBO with the method I showed. You could try marking the items in QBO as taxable and then mark them as taxable in the sales receipt so that it calculates the sales tax for you.

First, you would set up the accounts and items in QBO. If you have already recorded transactions via deposits, you would need to recategorize the deposits to the corresponding clearing accounts. If you have entered individual invoices or sales receipts, they may need to be deleted. You can use an app called SAASant to mass-delete transactions in QBO.

I mentioned in the video that you have to use clearing accounts for merchant payments. If the merchant reduces the amount deposited by the amount of the fee, then you need to enter the fee manually.
