Hello There! I hope you're doing well from wherever you are.
So, I have a question regarding recording a sales receipt and tracking A/R of delivery apps.
Firstly, I started working for a small bakery shop that sells ready-made products, by which products are not made domestically instead bought from an outside party that delivers the products (Cakes, Cupcakes, Candies, and more) upon request only.
Now, the shop was opened last year so most of the accounting work on quickbooks isn't done yet the owner used journal entries only to record sales and expenses.
((Actual Question))
To record a sales receipt i go to New>Sales Receipt>Choose Customer as (Daily Sales)> enter all products that were sold>Click Save. After that i make a transfer from Daily Sales account to other accounts like (Credit Card:Visa, MasterCard, Undeposited Funds, and Delivery apps; Uber eats) these are clearing accounts only because after checking the bank statement I would again transfer whatever we have received to the "Bank Account" account on quickbooks note that our bank can't be connected to quickbooks. However, my issue is how to account for those delivery apps because it seems i can't make a transfer from daily sales to A/R account so i can track payments and the aging of these accounts. Or is it ok if i just created an Other Current Asset for those apps and only record a JE as Allowance for doubtful accounts?
I'm quite confused and i want a more efficient way to minimize errors cuz we get a lot of orders through 3 delivery apps. Any advice?
please note i'm a newbie so in the field, so your help is much appreciated.
