Deferred Revenue

We have a restaurant near a university. Students can use their University Meal plan to pay for meals.  The university reimburses us and charges us a fee.  How would I record all that?

Deferred Revenue

We can create a bill that's billable to the students, CarrieMT.

 

When creating a billable expense, make sure that the vendor's name is the university. Then, billable to each student who avails the meal plan.

 

Just a heads up, this option is available in the QuickBooks Online Plus and QuickBooks Online Advanced versions.

 

Let me guide you with these steps:

 

First, we'll have to turn on the billable option:

 

  1. From the Gear icon, select Account and settings.
  2. Go to the Expense tab.
  3. Click the Bills and expenses section.
  4. Toggle the Make expenses and items billable button.
  5. Click Save and then Done.

 

Second, let's create a general name for the university as your vendor.

 

Then, we're good to create a bill:

 

  1. Click the + New button.
  2. Under VENDORS, select Bill.
  3. Select your vendor's name.
  4. Go to the Item details section.
  5. Enter the PRODUCT/SERVICEQTYRATE, and AMOUNT.
  6. Tick the BILLABLE column.
  7. Select the student's name in the CUSTOMER / PROJECT field.
  8. Click Save and close.

 

You can take a look at this article for more information about the billable expense: Enter billable expenses.

 

There you have it, CarrieMT. Let me know if you still need help. I'll be around to help!
