HOW DO I PAY THE SUPPLIER 95% OF THE BILL AND THE REST 5% DEBIT HIM BECAUSE IS A FEE

I can assist you with paying 95% of the bill and debiting the 5% fee to your supplier, Zeldy.

 

We can create the fee as a vendor credit, which will allow us to allocate the 95% as bill payment while deducting the 5% from the total amount. Please know that you'll need to manually calculate the equivalent amounts of the percentages. Follow the steps below:

 

  1. Go to +New and select Bill.
  2. Fill in with the necessary information, then Save and close.
  3. Navigate to the +New again and choose Vendor credit.
  4. Pick the same vendor or supplier and enter the fee in the Amount column.

 

Once done, reopen the bill and click Mark as paid. On the Bill payment page, locate the bill and vendor credit. I'm adding some screenshots below for your reference:

@Zeldy Ashkenazi 

Why do you need to debit 5%? Is it a fee for you payment processor or your commission?

Hi there, Zeldy.

 

I can provide additional options where you pay 95% of the bill and debit a 5% commission to your company, Zeldy.

 

To ensure accurate commission accounting, create a designated income account for commissions. Then, generate a Journal entry that debits Accounts Payable and credits the commission income account you've created. 

 

  1. Click the +New button and select Journal entry.
  2. Select the Accounts Payable (5%) debits column on the first line.
  3. Choose the income account commission on the second line.
  4. In the Name column, select the name of the supplier.
  5. Click on Save.

 

After completing the Journal entry, create an expense transaction that links to the journal entry and the bill. Doing this will apply the bill payment for only 95% of the total amount and maintain proper financial records.

 

  1. Go back to the +New button and select Expense.
  2. Add the Bill and the Journal entry.
  3. Ensure to link both transactions.
  4. Click Save and close.

I would also recommend consulting with your accountant for other options so they can offer expert guidance and ensure that your commission accounting and related transactions are handled accurately and in compliance with relevant regulations.

 

Moreover, I'll share this article that might be helpful for you in reviewing your bills, payments, and other entries through reports, in case you need it in the future: Run reports in QuickBooks Online.
