Thanks for joining this conversation, @my_ac.

 

If you already created a daily sales template, all you need to do is to manually enter the backdate in the Sales Receipt date field. You can also use this field to add the date of the current day sales entry. Before doing so, please note that this may affect your VAT.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. In QuickBooks Online (QBO), go to the Gear icon at the top right to get to the Recurring Transactions.
  2. Locate the template, then tick Use under the Action column.
  3. Type the date in the Sales Receipt date field and enter the other necessary information.
  4. Hit Save once done.

Hello @belindabot,

 

You can create a "food and drink" category of your sales item. Let me walk you through how.

  1. Go to Gear, then Products and Services.
  2. Choose New, then Stock, Non-stock, or Service.
  3. Enter the Name, and Item/Service code.
  4. Under Category, select Add new (or look for "food and drink" if you already have).
  5. Type the category Name. Then, Save.
  6. Click the Income account drop-down.
  7. Hit Save and close.

Once done, pull up sales by product/service detail report to view your sold items by category. Here's how.

 

  1. Go to Reports, then type Sales by Product/Service Detail.
  2. Select a Report period.
  3. Click Run report.

I've added some screenshots below on how it looks like in the report. You can check this awesome article for details: Group your products and services into different categories.
