Debits to sales not appearing
I have an arrangement with a customer where goods are often invoiced long after delivery, though the delivery constitutes a sale.
So when I deliver I record a sale and make an entry to an asset account (I call it Accrued Receivables).
Later, when I invoice, QB creates another sale and an entry to Accounts Receivable. To correct this I make an entry debiting Sales and crediting Accrued Receivables. The entry to Sales mysteriously doesn't seem to affect the Sales account, even though the entry o Accrued Receivables does affect that account.
Can someone explain what's going on?
Thanks.
