Recording daily Sale/Service with Commissions

Your confusion ends here, @BigBoss.

You have two options to record your sale/service with commissions in QuickBooks Desktop. First, you can add another line item for the commission of the service and enter a negative value. Second, you'll want to create a credit memo for the commission and apply it to the invoice. Let me guide you through the process.

Before we start, let's first create a service item for the commission to use when adding the commission on the invoice or creating the credit memo. Here's how:

1. Go to the Lists menu, then select Item List.
2. In the Item drop-down, click New.
3. Select Service from the Type drop-down.
4. Enter the item name as "Commission Service."
5. Select an expense account from the Account drop-down.
6. Click OK to save.

Once done, you can now use the service item for a commission when creating the invoice or sales receipt. Here's how:

1. Go to the Customers menu and select Create Invoices or Enter Sales Receipt.
2. Choose the customer from the drop-down.
3. In the first line, select the Tailor Service and enter £20 for the amount.
4. In the second line, select the Commission Service and enter -£5.
5. Click Save & Close.

You can also create a credit memo for the commission service and apply it to the invoice.

1. Go to the Customers menu and select Create Credit Memos/Refunds.
2. Choose the customer from the drop-down.
3. Select the Commission Service and enter £5 for the amount.
4. Then, click the Use credit to apply to invoice.
5. Find the invoice you created to apply the credit.
6. Click Save and Close once finished.
