Hi irene-mfpml

We suggest that you create the Sales receipt and receive the amount to the undeposied funds account rather than your bank account. Create a bank deposit, the account section should be the bank account that the net amount was received and also the date.

In the Add funds to this deposits section in the account column select/create a fee/expense account and in the amount column enter a minus figure for the fee that was taken. The deposit will now show the net amount received, save and close.

So if I read this right, the letting agency sends you a check less their commission/fee

Create a service item which is linked to the commission/fee expense account

then use a sales receipt

line one, your income item for the rent and the full amount paid

line two, use the service item for the commission/fee, qty is negative one, and enter the amount of the fee

the sale receipt will net to the amount received, and the expense will be posted
