Im dealing with real estate and recieve my payments as cash and 2 or 3 post dated cheaques , how i can enter that on the payment receipt !

I have all the steps you'll need in receiving multiple payment methods in QuickBooks Online, @useromar-ezz-ad.

 

To clarify, are they invoice payments? To record multiple payment methods for one invoice, you'll have to apply them one at a time using partial payments.

 

To record the cash payment, here's how:

  1. Select + New.
  2. Select Receive Payment.
  3. From the Customer dropdown, select the name of the customer.
  4. From the Payment method dropdown, select the payment method.
  5. From the Deposit to dropdown, select the account you put the payment into. Tip: You can put the money directly into an account, like your checking account, or select Undeposited funds if you need to group the payment with others.
  6. In the Outstanding Transactions section, select the checkbox for the invoice your recording payment for.
  7. In Amount received field, enter how much money your customer paid.
  8. Enter the Reference no. and Memo if needed.
  9. When you're done, select Save and close.

Then, enter the second and third received payments for the same customer. Just make sure to select the correct payment method.

 

However, if you're referring to sales receipts, you'll have to create two separate sales receipts with different amounts and payment methods. I can walk you through on how to achieve this.

 

  1. Click the +New button.
  2. Choose Sales Receipt.
  3. Select the name of the customer.
  4. Choose Cash in the Payment Method drop-down.
  5. Type the payment details.
  6. Click Save and New.
     

Once completed, create the second sales receipt for the same customer. Just make sure to select Check as the payment method.

 

I'd also like to share some clarification about recording post-dated checks in QuickBooks Online. Ideally, Post Dated Cheques (PDC) shall be kept inside the office or deposited to the bank for safekeeping. The theory here is that your customer has really not paid you anything. You have merely received a promise of payment. Upon the due date, you can issue an official receipt against the check. That's the time you can record the customer payment into the system. 

 

There's a lot of treatment for post-dated cheques in accounting. If you're unsure how to record them, we strongly suggest talking with your accountant or a tax professional for expert advice.
