Hi

We are a small non-profit preschool doing a large fundraiser for our expansion.

I would like to track the income received from our donors (Sales Receipts) against the expenditure.  I can't figure out how to attach the sales receipts to the project (I have projects turned on). 

I then tried using classes to track the income/expenditure, but if we code any expenditure against leasehold, it doesn't show in the reports.

Any ideas?

Hi there, @ldartnall

 

Thank you for reaching out to the Community. 

 

Let me guide on how to track the income received from your donor. Let me show you how: 

 

  1. Click the + New icon, select Sales Receipt
  2. Under Customer drop-down arrow and choose the (fundraiser) as project. 
  3. Click Save. 
  4. Hit the + New icon, and choose Expense. 
  5. Under Payee drop-down arrow and choose the vendor name. 
  6. Press Save and close.

Once finished adding all the sales receipt details, you can run a report to double-check it.

You can customize the look of the sales receipt form and the email message the customer should receive it. 

 

For additional information on this, I recommend the following article: Customize invoices, estimates, and sales receipts in QuickBooks Online

Hi there,  similar scenario to the original poster. what if you have lots of different donors? are you able to add sales receipts from multiple donors to a project or only one? and what if the same donor has donated to a different project? it would be really useful if sales receipts had the equivilent column for projects as expenses. many thanks

Welcome to the Community, @Lainey112.

 

Let me provide some clarification about entering sales transactions in QuickBooks Online.

 

Currently, you can only add one customer when creating a project. In the meantime, the only available option is to separate them by creating a new one for each donor.

 

We always update the features in QuickBooks Online, and this preference might be added in the future. As we assess this, I suggest you visit our QuickBooks Blog to stay updated with all the changes that are being made.

 

For additional reference, please check out the article about tracking fund donations: Track funds you receive from donors in QuickBooks Online.

That is the issue we have also.  Doing a big expansion project and lots of our current donors are helping pay for it but they donate for other things also.  I have yet to find a way to track this one project with different sales receipts and also the project needs to go into leasehold so doesnt show up on the P&L anyway!

Consider having a donor management app to integrate with your QBO.
