We use QBO set up for a nonprofit and recently acquired goods from 2 other nonprofits that charge an "admin fee," but consider the goods themselves donations. Any ideas?

For instance, if we received a laptop from another nonprofit for a $370 "admin fee," would I create a donation receipt for the laptop value and treat the "admin fee" as an expense? Thanks!

Hello, @josiah1.

 

Yes, you can record an expense transaction for the admin fee. To enter an expense, select Expense under Vendor from the New (+) icon.a2 1.PNG

 

Or, you can use a sales receipt, choose Undeposited Funds in the Deposit to section, not a bank account. 

 

  1. Tap Sales Receipt from the New (+) icon.
  2. Fill in the necessary information and select Undeposited Funds under Deposit to.
  3. Click Save to record the transaction.

Then, make a bank deposit to the desired bank account and add the fee as a negative amount under the Add funds to this deposit section.

 

  1. Go to the New (+) icon, then select Bank deposit under Other.
  2. Select the payment or sales receipt under Select the payments included in this deposit section.
  3. Add the admin fee as a negative amount under Add funds to this deposit section.
  4. Save the deposit.
