Question

Will entering 1 monthly lump amount in sales be workable in QB , because we have a separate sales system that already prepares the daily invoices.

It depends on how you will record it in QBO. You may create a montly sales receipt at the end of each month. Otherwise, you can migrate your invoice transaction data into QBO using an importer tool.

Hi simeontan,

 

You can record the monthly lump amount using the sales receipt if your customer pays immediately for the product or service or invoice if you need to bill your customer after the sale is made. 

 

Here's how:

  1. Click the + New button.
  2. Select Sales Receipt.
  3. Choose the name of the customer or create a new one. If the customer is currently not set up in QuickBooks Online, select Add a new customer.
  4. Enter all sales information needed to complete the sales receipt. 
  5. On the Description column, enter the information for the monthly lump amount,
  6. Click Save and close.

You can do the same thing once you want to enter an invoice: Create Invoices in QuickBooks Online.

 

Although sales receipts and invoices are used to track your daily sales, you can still follow the steps above to track it on a monthly lump amount.

 

You might want to run the Sales by Product/Services Detail report if you want to view the total sales: Run Reports.

Is there another way to input the monthly sales at the end of the month.  The monthly sales do not represent 1 customer but rather hundreds of customers.  I was thinking if the total monthly amount can be added to an account that is labeled Sales with "income" attribute.

Hello NovemberSky,

 

Instead of creating individual sales receipts for each of your customers, we can record a bank deposit at the end of the month. Here's how to do it:

  1. Click the + New button and select Bank Deposit.
  2. Select the bank account in the Account field and the Date of the deposit.
  3. Go to the Add funds to this deposit section and select the customer per line in the RECEIVED FROM column.
  4. Select the income account in the ACCOUNT column.
  5. Enter the details in the DESCRIPTION and the AMOUNT columns.
  6. Click Save and close.

That's how to deposit your monthly sales.
