Net 30

Hello all,

 

I have a question about receipts & net 30. I have clients (apartment complexes) that I do work for as a contractor. I send invoices to clients at the end of each month. I also purchase material for repairs in each month & add cost (plus markup for material purchase) & have net 30 accounts with the suppliers I purchase the materials from. I get a receipt when I purchase material right then I also get statements from suppliers at the end of each month showing what was purchased in that month. I would like to enter receipt in QB as an expense (job supplies) and mark receipt as billable expense so when I create invoice it asks "would I like to add these billable expenses (receipts) to invoice." I am also wanting to add the net 30 bill from suppliers into QB as well so I can pay suppliers in 30 days after receiving statement/invoice from suppliers. My question is would this be "double dipping" or show up as expense twice sense I am putting it in as receipt each time I get receipt to be able to add material cost to invoice (to client) as billable expense (get reimbursed. Plus markup)? Or will it not show up as expense when I put the suppliers statement in as bill to pay later for material purchased throughout month?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You didn't mention what version of QB you're using (I'll assume online). 

 

When you pay for materials at the time of purchase, enter it into QBO as an expense (New > Vendors > Expense) and then check the billable box and select the customer (apartment complex). 

 

If you get net 30 terms from your supplier, enter it as a bill (New > Vendors > Bill) and then check the billable box and select the customer (apartment complex).  

 

If you use expenses for materials you pay for at the time of purchase and a bill for materials when you get net 30 terms, you won't be "double dipping".  If you were double-dipping, either your bank/credit card account balances or your accounts payable would be off as well.
