Provision on Accounts Receivable and Payable how to enter in Quickbooks

You should issue an invoice for the sale to the distributor

Income is reported in accrual basis reports as the date of the sale (invoice is saved) and that is correct accounting

Income is reported in cash basis reporting as of the date the payment is entered, not when the invoice is created/saved

You receive payment and check off the invoices the lump sum payment applies to

You describe Barter, not "provision" as credit memo.

The Customer also is your Vendor, because you Owe them. You would Pay them, but there is a holdback = Barter.

Make a Bank account and name it Barter. Pretend to Pay the holdback using Write Check from Barter Bank, for the vendor name as payee for what you "paid them" by Holdback. For that Same Date, you Receive Payment from the Customer Name for that same amount and "Deposit" to Barter Bank. It ends at 0 for this one date, if you did it right.

I have the exact same question/concern as Tony. It's regarding Amazon Vendor Central as our customer, maybe you too?

In any case, are there any other methods for properly managing this kind of payment relationship that Tony has described? Delayed Charge is the closest function in QBO, but it is non-posting (will not affect customer balance) and also must be added to an invoice which will affect the true balance of the invoice it is applied to.

Hi there, David.

As mentioned by @qbteachmt, you may consider adding a bank account name as Barter to pay the holdback using a check from the Barter bank you've created. Please note of the same date you received the payment from your client and then deposit them to the Barter account.

Let us know if you have any other concerns.

I'm finding it extremely challenging to clear off payments received correctly with these provisions that are later credited back.

Hi Zaphira,

Just wondering, did this method work for you or did you find another way of dealing with this? I'm having major problems trying to mark invoices as 'paid' that are included in a remittance with Provision of Receivables.

Thank you.
