We are in the construction industry. Our builders (customers) send us payment for lesser the amount of the invoice due. This is because of workers comp insurance that they provide while we are on the job. These are "Wrap Jobs". They deduct a percentage of the invoice to account for them paying the insurance on behalf of us. How can I record this in the payment? My last software allowed me to allocate the deduction to my expense account "Work Comp Ins" in the payment section. In QBO I tried to do the same thing, under Receive Payment, but the Deposit To field does not include my Work Comp Ins expense account. How do I bring that expense account into that field? If not possible, how do I record this adjustment without having to create a credit memo every time?
