Hello My company receives shopping vouchers as an incentive, how do i report these transactions? As they are nor exchangeable for cash.

I've got your back, @ray78. I'll be happy to share some details about your query, and help you use the voucher you receive from your supplier or vendor in QuickBooks Online.

 

If you receive a voucher from your vendor or supplier in QBO, you'll want to enter it as supplier credit, so the next time you buy a product from that same supplier, you can apply it to reduce your payment. To begin, here's how:

 

  1. Select + New.
  2. Select Supplier Credit.
  3. In the Supplier field, select the appropriate supplier name.
  4. Enter the Date, Amount, and Account (the account used here is typically the original expense account on the original bill).
  5. Select Save and close.

 

Once you're ready to apply the supplier credits to your bill, follow these:

 

  1. Select + New.
  2. Select Expense or Cheque. Please know that both Expense and Cheque recognise and record the expense. When you use Cheque, the transaction adds to the list of cheques that you can print.
  3. In the Choose a payee dropdown, select the supplier name.
  4. Leave the Ref/Cheque no, Date, Amount and Memo fields blank.
  5. In the Add to Expense or Add to Cheque section, select Add for the outstanding bill and the supplier credit.
  6. Select Save and close.

 

With the steps that I've provided above, you'll be able to pay for the product and use the voucher that you receive from the store owner.

Hi @ray78 

 

The easiest way to input these vouchers would be as a second (negative) line on the bill/expense.

They are simply a discount - so enter them as a reduction to the bill.

 

Note that the £125 is inclusive of VAT (if applicable) - so if the bill as a whole is VATable, this would be £104.17 plus VAT.

 

Hope this helps.
