Check out the various event descriptions that may appear on your subscription invoice:
- I am removing a customer from my wholesale billing (Transferring the billing to a customer):
QuickBooks Online Plus transfer date 14 May 21, prorated credit 14 May - 20 May | This shows the date the billing was transferred to the customer, i.e. the date the customer’s QuickBooks account was removed from your wholesale billing (14 May). It also shows the credit memos amounts calculated pro rata. The period considered for the calculation of the prorated charges is the period between the billing transfer date to the customer (14 May), and the firm’s billing date (20 May). |
- I am upgrading or downgrading my customer’s version of QuickBooks:
QuickBooks Online EasyStart date of subscription 28 May 21, prorated credit for 28 May - 20 June | You will see the following when you upgrade or downgrade your customer’s QuickBooks account version. It indicates the date you subscribed to the QuickBooks license you are downgrading or upgrading from, and the unused period for which you will receive a prorated credit i.e : the period between the date you upgraded or downgraded your client’s QuickBooks Online account and your firm’s billing date. |
QuickBooks Online Plus new subscription start date 28 May 21, prorated charges for 28 May - 20 June | You will see the following when you upgrade or downgrade your customer’s QuickBooks account version. It shows you the date you upgraded or downgraded to the new version of QuickBooks, and the dates used to calculate a prorated fee i.e: the period between the date you upgraded or downgraded your client’s QuickBooks Online account and your firm’s billing date. |
- I bought new QuickBooks licenses with my Business Development Manager:
QuickBooks Plus recurring fees 08 Sept. - 08 Oct., 95% Not until 8 Feb. 22, then standard price* | If you have an offer and it has expired, you will be billed the standard QuickBooks Online license price for accountants. The price varies depending on the version of QuickBooks you purchased. |
Example: In this example, the firm will be billed on the 20th of each month.
Here, a new license (TEST LE NUMÉRO) was added to the wholesale billing on 22nd July 2021.
The subscription invoice on 20th August 2021 therefore includes:
- The discounted amount of this new license, calculated pro rata, from 22nd July until 20th August, that is to say (CA $ 6.55 exclusive of tax) for the EasyStart license;
- The monthly recurring amount, your firm will have to pay for the license for the following month, from 20th August to 20th September, because QuickBooks bills in advance for the following month. Here, the recurring payment is CA $ 7 exclusive of tax. *
*This price includes discounts reserved for QuickBooks Online Accountants only.
Client subscriptions | This section summarizes the total amount due QuickBooks license type (Plus, Essentials, EasyStart) and by rate. One type of license can be invoiced with different amounts. For example, if you have two Plus accounts with two rates, one with a discount and the other without a discount, they will both appear in this section on two separate line items. |
