I have switched from retail to Vendors malls, my sales are great, but I am having trouble figuring out how to record the end of the month check.

Hello there, @nanasnecessities. 

I'd be happy to lend you a hand and help guide you on how to record reports in QBDT.

We can run the Transaction List by Customer report and customize it to get the information you want to achieve. Here how:

1. For the Reports menu, choose Customers and Receivables.
2. Select the Transaction List by Customer.
3. From the Dates drop-down menu, choose Last Month or This Month.
4. Click Customize Report and select the Filters tab.
5. Search for Transaction Type, and select Invoice.
6. Search for Paid Status, and select Closed.
7. Click OK.

For your reference, you can visit these resources for more customization techniques on the different reports that you can pull up in QuickBooks Desktop:

Lastly, I've got you this helpful article to learn more about how you can memorize a report: Create, access, and modify memorized reports.

I am having trouble figuring out how to enter my transaction.

example: Total Sales: $2000.00

They take out my rent, $140

They take out a gateway fee of $2.00

They take out a percent of my total sales of 3%, this example $60

I have a check for $1798.00 

How can I deposit this check and still show the $140, $2.00 $60?

I have tried this so many ways and cant get it to work out unless I run it through cash, it is screwing up my checking any other way. I cant get it to do a sales or invoice because of the positives and negatives, I need it to work for my reports, but I need my bank to balance also. Each one I am in has different rent and charges. So at the moment, I am entering it under cash as a bank. each and every one as a separate transaction and I know there has to be a way to do this?

I really felt that it should be an invoice or sales receipt, but this will work for my banking and my reports. I sell many small items so I am not entering individual items from each and every vendors mall, I am in 5 at the moment, so it would be a chore.

I appreciate you for getting back, @nanasnecessities. Allow me to join the thread and share with you some additional information about recording your sales in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

Yes, you can use invoices or sales receipts for your sales entries aside from bank deposits. The recording depends on the mode of your transactions. 

A sales receipt is used when your customer pays you on the spot for goods or services. An invoice is used when sales are paid at a later time. You can set up terms to indicate how long the customer has to pay. When you're ready to record a payment and make a deposit, use these articles as your guide:

• Record an invoice payment
• Record and make bank deposits in QuickBooks Desktop

On the other hand, you can always ask your accountant for more options in tracking your sales transactions. He or she can provide you with other ways while keeping your books in place.
