Sales Revenue Vs Payments collected

Hi everyone,

 

I currently operate a Canadian franchise and am having difficulty tracking SALES vs payments.  We reconcile payments and charges on a weekly basis.  My sales are calculated based on POS and third party transactions, but my payments are not exactly equivalent to my sales.  We received credits from the franchisor and third parties for marketing and other reasons.  We pay taxes on SALES, so I cannot enter my payments from all the vendors as an invoice because it will record as total sales, which is not correct.  

 

IE.  Sales shows 10,000 for the week

 

Payments Received:

1000 Visa

1000 MC

1000 Debit

5000 third party platforms

1000 Cash

500 Credits

1000 Visa Debit

Total Payments= 10,500

 

How can I used QBO to record true sales figure of 10,000, but still apply 10,500 payment to my AR account without accounting for 500 of extra revenue?

Hi lankimle,

 

Making sure you're recording your transactions the right way is a good exercise for preventing errors in your books. I'd be happy to steer you in the right direction so you can focus on doing the things you enjoy. 

 

To ensure accuracy in your books, I recommend contacting an accounting professional to get more info on recording the transactions. Doing this will help prevent any future discrepancies in your books. If you're not in contact with one, I encourage you to search for one on our website using this link here.

 

I'll also leave this question here so other accounting professional members can chime in. Let me know if you have other questions. I'm here to help.

Hi @lankimle 

 

Assuming the credits from your franchise are posted against amounts you owe them, you would simply post that as a credit memo against them.  This shouldn't count as sales.

 

From the green New button, under the Suppliers column, create a new Supplier Credit for your franchisor.

 

Hope this helps!
