Received invoice from supplier with transaction fee

I received an invoice from a supplier for ingredients (direct materials). 

There was a line item for shipping costs which I include in the cost of direct materials.

However, this is the first time I have received a line item for a Credit Card Fee (3.5%) and a line item for a Credit Card Transaction Fee (flat fee $0.30).

Do I enter both of these items as a direct material cost?

I do not know how to handle these two line items.

Is anyone able to offer advice on how record these two line items on Quickbooks Desktop Pro?

Received invoice from supplier with transaction fee

 

Let me help record the invoice you've received from a supplier with two credit card fees, zz8.

 

In QuickBooks Desktop, you need to set up credit card accounts to help track charges and payments you made. Then, create a service item for the fee and manually add it to the supplier's invoice.

 

Let me show you the steps:

 

Set up credit card accounts:

  1. From the Company menu, select Chart of Accounts.
  2. Select Account or the plus + icon, then New.
  3. Select Credit Card, then select Continue.
  4. On the Add New Account window, enter the credit card name.
  5. Select Enter Opening Balance, then enter the account's balance and date.
  6. Select Save & Close.

Add items

  1. Go to Lists,  then select Item List.
  2. On the Item List window, select Item then New
  3. Select the type of item you want to create.
  4. Fill in the item fields.
  5. Click Save.

Once done, you can create a bill and add another line item for those credit cards fees.

 

About recording them as a direct material cost, I recommend consulting your accountant for specific instructions. This is to ensure you have accurate records on your books and correct entries during reconciliation.
