Study Notes

Recurring Transactions

Recurring transactions can be set up to automate recording, allowing efficient management of frequent transactions.
Access recurring templates through the Gear Icon under settings.
Types of transactions that can be set up as recurring include Bills, Invoices, and Sales Receipts, among others.
Transactions that cannot be set as recurring are Receive Payment and Bill Payment, as these are steps in a workflow.

Daily Sales Setup

To record daily sales, create a new service item named "Daily Sales" under Products & Services, associating it with the Income Account for Sales.
Consider adding a customer named Daily Sales or separate customers for each day of the week for detailed sales tracking.

Handling Bounced Checks

Record bounced checks through invoices, including the bounced check amount and associated fees.
Adjust the aging on the original invoice by deselecting the paid status of the original payment and saving the new invoice.
Service items for bounced checks include mapping the Bounced Check to a checking account and the Bounced Check Fee to Bank Charges.

Retainers and Deposits

There are three methods for recording retainers: using the Deposit Feature, maintaining a Credit Balance in A/R, or the Unearned Income Method.
The deposit feature allows recording retainer deposits but may not comply with GAAP; it's best for short intervals between deposit receipt and service delivery.
The Unearned Income Method utilizes a liability account for client retainers and is advisable for businesses providing financial statements.

Prepayments and Vendor Management

Vendor prepayments can be recorded via Accounts Payable or an Asset Account to track the prepayment.
When using A/P, writing a check reduces the balance until the bill is entered.
An asset account called Vendor Prepayments can be created to manage vendor prepayments.

Progress Invoicing

Progress invoicing enables clients to issue multiple invoices from an estimate, promoting ongoing payment as tasks are completed.
Benefits include maintaining contractor satisfaction, improving customer communication, and ensuring consistent cash flow.
Enable progress invoicing in settings through the Sales section.

Price Rules and Customer Types

Price Rules allow businesses to customize pricing strategies for different customer segments.
Different pricing methods include Percentage discounts, Fixed Discounts, or Custom Prices per item.
Set up customer types and price rules via the sales center and account settings, ensuring to confirm the use of customer types is enabled on Plus and Advanced versions.

Tips Feature in QBO

Activate the Tips feature in QuickBooks Online to track customer tips through the sales form content settings.
Payout tips utilizing checks or expenses linked to the Undistributed Tips account. This functionality is available only in sales receipts, not invoices.
Once activated, the tips functionality cannot be turned off, ensuring seamless tip management within transactions.
