I'll be happy to provide answers to your questions to ensure that you can accurately record shipping expenses, leading to correct reporting in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT), nitsujayyy.
To ensure that the shipping costs associated with the order are properly represented in a detailed report on net customer sales, it is recommended to add the shipping expense as a line item on the invoice or sales receipt, and then negate it with the Free Shipping Fee. This approach will provide an accurate representation in the reporting.
Regarding your additional inquiry about generating a bill that avoids duplicating the Shopify expense while capturing the manually entered shipping expense, you will need to document the FedEx shipping expense for non-customers as a separate shipping expense through a Bill transaction. For the appropriate expense account to utilize, I suggest consulting with your accountant to guarantee financial precision, adherence to tax laws, and effective management of your financial records.
