Expenses & Suppliers

I have supplier (in my accounts payable) to invoice with hold backs until a project is complete.  I want to create a retainage account so that I have a subledger & aging of these balances by supplier.   I've seen this discussion:https://quickbooks.intuit.com/learn-support/en-us/reports-and-accounting/how-do-set-up-a-retainage-payable-account-that-so-that-you-can/01/234404#M14070But that just creates another liability account and doesn't provide the subreporting that I need.Does QBO not have this ability?

how can I enter an expense (such as property taxes) and use it to decrease the amount in 'Due to Shareholder'?

I use my vehicle for both business and personal. How do I enter the business portion only in QuickBooks? I pay all my vehicle expenses through my personal accounts because my vehicle is used mostly for personal. I do not want to reimburse myself, I simply want to just record the business portion according to the tax laws and percentages of allowable deductions.

I'm struggling using the receipt capture feature.  It seems that many of my pdf receipts don't upload properly and are not recognized by QB and I need then to do a lot of manual entry to make it work.  Is this expected?  Is the OCR just really poor or am I doing something wrong?

We are an electrical contractor using QuickBooks Enterprise Desktop.  We maintain an inventory of both generators and motors.  I would like to track these items in Inventory by Serial Number, so that when on is sold we can select it from inventory based on the serial number of the motor or generator that was sold.  I have turned on the Advanced Inventory Tracking and entered a few purchases of motors.  Motors can range very drastically in cost and sales price.   I then also created an invoice for the sale of one of the motors, which is where my problem is.  It appears QuickBooks will expense the inventory item at the average cost or standard cost, but not by the cost of the item specifically associated with the serial number selected.  It also will price the item at a standard price, instead of being able to apply a standard markup to the cost of the item associated with that specific serial number. So for example, if you purchase

Our supplier deposited a handwritten cheque. I need to apply the supplier credit to it through the bank but I do not have that option for som odd reason. How can I process this?

I have a supplier receipt with the purchase of one item and the return of one item. The return was greater than the purchase so the difference was put back on our debit card. QB bankfeed shows this difference as received. What is the best way to be able to reconcile the bank feed with the supplier transactions?

I was trying to track my costs of a project, After I entered vehicle purchase expense under project, the project overview does not show the costs. I don't know why. The cost of vehicle is associated with the project

It appears the US version of QB desktop is compatible to work with a receipt scanner.... Where is Canada in this?  As a bookkeeping firm that speciallizes in "shoebox clients"  I need that feature and any chats with Canadian support folks has been useless.  Are there any bookkeeppers or accountants that have had success with a receipt scanner and QB Premier Accountant Edition?

Is it possible to batch enter multiple expense transactions WITHOUT manually creating a bill, cheque, or credit card charge, bill, or invoice for each one? I am trying to like Quickbooks Desktop enough to keep paying for it, but I am finding it even easier to just Excel to batch record transactions. Oddly enough, it doesn't seem to realize people still pay for expenses with a debit card, wire transfer, EFT, etc. Does Quickbooks Desktop just assume every non-credit card expense involves a bill and making a new payable? Also, is it possible to completely disable the check feature? I am an accountant coming from CaseWare and am trying to appreciate QB Desktop as a less expensive alternative, but it is extremely frustrating to do things efficiently (e.g., enter transactions).  

Hello, I'm trying to figure out the IIF format to import a credit card transaction like the attached image.  I've tried using BILLPMT as the transaction type, but I'm a little bit unclear on how to create all the line items and which columns I should use.   If someone could point me at some resources, or provide a quick description of how I should split up my transaction to account for the multiple lines I would greatly appreciate it.   

Hello, I received a refund from a vendor to our credit card. I wanted to post a credit in our credit card account on quick books pro 2022, but it automatically is posting a debit too. I wanted to post a credit in CC account so it will match our bank statement, but quick books is not letting me. What do I do with this.

 Hello, We are running into several back orders as of recent and want to ensure we are entering our Bills correctly to balance out our Supplier Purchase Orders. Scenario:#1 - Create estimate for client and they approve#2 - Create PO and send to Vendor#3 - Vendor fulfills 50% of the items ordered at time of purchase#4 - Vendor ships Back Ordered items in several different orders as they receive the items#5 - We end up with 4 Vendor Bills for 1 Purchase Order We've tried to receive the items in our PO before we convert to a Bill but QBO will not allow us to use the Received Column in our PO. Can we add a custom Back Order field to our QBO Bills?  Or is there a best practice to handle BO's in QBO? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Paul

Hello. I understand you cannot match multiple bank transaction to one receipt in Quickbooks. However, I am unable to delete the receipt as it's attached to an invoice that has already been sent and paid. How would I record the bank transactions?

As the owner of a corporation, I purchased new office equipment needed for the business. However, I paid for the items using my personal credit card.  How do record this in QB?

Why can't we assign bundles to categories? They seem to go randomly where ever they want making it difficult to find to edit and view to make sure we are not recreating? I don't know what the internally sorting code says for these but it is maddening.

I want to be able to streamline how I post supplier bill and/or expenses (i.e., "pay outs") that consist entirely of deposits collected from customers/payors each month. Is that possible from the banking downloads screen? Or is this a rule I need to set up and somehow get it configured that QBO will let me post bills to specific suppliers that total the amount of the deposit transaction (for which there is no posted transaction such as an invoice or sales receipt to match to)? More background:I have a situation where I receive multiple deposits from various customers/"payors" that are booked as revenue in the aggregate but then also broken out and paid to individual suppliers/"T4A independent contractors" whose bills to me effectively total the deposit from each customer. Process (in real life):- Contractor sells something to third party and earns a commission ((interchangeablly referred to as payouts, amounts, commissions, etc). - My customer/payor calculates calculates

Hi there. A receipt was uploaded in the incorrect amount, but was marked billable and the invoice has already gone out. I now have the bank transaction for the correct amount, but I cannot match them. What’s the easiest way to go about this? 

Hi there. I have multiple receipts in US currency, so when I upload the receipt I use the US amount. When the bank transactions get uploaded, they are in CAD, so they never match. Just wondering what the best way to go about this. Thanks!

I have two cards in two currencies and would like to separate the expenses
