Study Notes
Transaction Types in QuickBooks
- Use a Credit Memo to record a customer's return of a damaged product or to process a refund; this applies when a service is not satisfactory.
- Create an Estimate when a customer requests a bid or quote; this is an initial proposal for potential work rather than a finalized sale.
- Billable time or costs for invoicing are derived from timesheets and checks marked as billable, ensuring accurate cost tracking.
Invoicing Guidelines
- An invoice should be created when a customer purchases goods or services without immediate payment, allowing for a record of the sale for future payment tracking.
- A Sales Receipt is utilized when a customer pays at the time of sale, confirming the transaction with an immediate record.
- Progress Invoicing allows billing from an estimate in stages or increments, facilitating project-based invoicing.
Statements and Bounced Checks
- When generating a statement with "All open transactions as of statement date," QuickBooks displays all open transactions relevant to that date.
- A bounced check from a customer necessitates recording the owed amount along with any NSF (non-sufficient funds) fees incurred by the bank.
Payment Recording
- If multiple payments are received and deposited as one amount, record them as separate transactions in the Receive Payments window, then consolidate when recording the deposit.
- After creating a Credit Memo, it can be retained as credit, refunded to the customer, or applied to an existing invoice, providing flexibility in managing customer accounts.
