Question

Expense summary report shows sales commissions.

I mistakenly set the company that pays sales commission as a vendor. It now shows up in the, "Expenses By Vendor Summary". How to I change this to prevent this from happening on QB for Mac? Do I have to delete the commissions and reenter them under a different type? I'm confused as I've been unable to find a means of doing so after going through all the menus.

Hi Scottman,

 

Yes, you can delete the transaction and then set up the company as a customer. From there, you're good to set up commission as sales.

 

You can delete it by going to the Expenses tab and then selecting Vendors,

 

Then, you can check this reference on how to record commission: Track sales commissions in QuickBooks Online.

 

Keep me posted in case you have other concerns in setting up commission. Keep safe!

Adrian,

I've been through QB Desktop For Mac and can not find any tab for "Expenses" so I'm still confused. Also, the reference to track sales with an online QB version doesn't seem to be appropriate for my version.

 

Any other thoughts?

 

Thanks for you help

I'm here to add some information and take away your confusion, Scottman.

 

In QuickBooks Desktop for Mac, you can locate those expenses. Let me show you how:

 

  1. Go to Vendors at the top menu bar.
  2. Select Vendor Center.
  3. Click on Transactions tab.

 

From there, you may start deleting the expenses you've entered.
