Expenses & Suppliers

Original commenter did not share additional details

I have a camera supplier that asks for a deposit (example 1500$) for a rental, and then when we return the rental they give us back the deposit minus the fees of the rental (example 1350$ if the rental cost was 150$). This creates two transactions on QuickBooks, one where we're paying 1500$ and one where we have 1350$ back. How can I enter this transaction in quickbooks in a way that will make sense fiscally since paying 15% taxes on 150$ is different than paying taxes on 1500$ and then charging the taxes on 1350$. Many thanks !

My company used to use Quickbooks Desktop Premier Contractor Edition, and it had the very useful ability to track expiration dates for our Vendor's Insurance & WCB (as in the below image). This was excellent as Quickbooks would give you a warning before making payments, entering bills, etc if either of the vendors WCB/Insurance was expired. We recently upgrade to the Enterprise Contractor edition, and we lost this ability. The option to pick a vendor type is still there, but the sections to add expiration dates (the highlighted sections) are no longer there. Is this functionality not available in Enterprise edition or is there a toggle or something that I can turn it back on with?

Hey Quickbooks Community, I'm wondering if there's a way to show a billable expense through a journal entry. I currently use Quickbooks Easy Start so I don't have the option to turn on the billable expenses in settings. I can't afford to upgrade, so wondering if there's a workaround via a journal entry. Here's my scenario:I am paying for printing costs for a client with my company credit card (connected to Quickbooks) and I will add the total of this expense to her final invoice. Once she pays her invoice I will take the funds (that deposited into my chequing account) and pay my credit card to cover the expense I incurred.  Is there a way to show this through a journal entry? Thanks in advance!

We are an online retail store that uses QBE to generate purchase orders and then use the app to receive inventory into the system. The system then asks us to create an item receipt. Once we approve the item receipt the inventory goes into our system. The problem we are facing is when we create a purchase order (typically 100-500 different items) the price we actually pay for the inventory is not the wholesale price, it is a discounted price such as 10% off all items. Currently when we receive the inventory into the system we are receiving it all at full wholesale price, but we aren't actually paying full wholesale price as we often get % discounts off wholesale.We know we can change every price on the Item Receipt page one at a time to the price on the invoice from our supplier before we upload the new inventory, however this is painful as we often have hundreds of items we are receiving and changing the inventory one at a time doesn't make sense.Is there a way for us to assign a

Hello,I would like to know how I can print multiple invoices for the same supplier on one cheque?  When i was using the desktop version I would enter all invoices separately and then select them to print on one cheque.I entered in 3 invoices for one supplier and when i went to print cheques today online it printed 3 cheques, is there a way to get it all on one and it will list the invoices on the stubs?

Hello, I have a year end to prepare for and my Banking transactions / business expenses have disappeared prior to 12 months ago.  Is there a limit of 365 days for tracking and categorizing expenses? 

I act as an agent when incurring certain expenses I want to understand how to properly enter these types of expenses on an invoice while also reconciling my credit card balances example I rent clothing from two designers, both charge $100 and I style my client with those clothes for a service fee of $300 one of the designers doesn't charge HST as their business is not big enough and so they are exempt I have two invoices from the designers, one for $113 and one for $100 when I charge my client this is how I want their invoice to look like: My Fee: $300HST: $39Expenses:Designer A: $113 (100+13% hst)Designer B: $100 (no hst)  total: $552 but I want to make sure that at the end of the day I am only collecting $39 in HST and not claiming any HST paid on the expenses how do I properly enter this in Quick Books

Hello,I work for a homebuilder, we have just started in QuickBooks Online, I used the desktop version the past 10 years or so..I enter contractor/supplier invoices in the "Cheque" screen to be able to track the invoices via class(project) and then print cheques to be mailed.  My question is, when entering the invoices to be paid, where do I put the invoice number so that if an invoice number was previously used/entered, QuickBooks will have a pop up to warn you its been previously used? I put it in the memo line as both just the number  and invoice 1234 but it let me save both entries and the message did not pop up that it was previously used. I really want it to flag it like it did on desktop.One other question, the invoice number or whatever detail used in the memo box shows up at the bottom of the printed cheque as it should but it does not say memo or have a line, is there a way to get that to appear? Thanks for any helpG

Some of our vendors offer a 30/60/90 term with the amount split between 3-4 months. Is there a way to create split terms when entering in a bill in QBD?

I recently incorporated but before then, I had business expenses like website, domain, advertising, incorporation expenses etc coming out of my personal visa. I guess my question is how do I record these on QBO? 

Hello,I am setting up QuickBooks online for the first time so am kind of learning as I go, I used desktop 2019 at my last company.  When I use to pay our bills/print cheques I did it in the "Write Cheques" location on desktop, but with online now I am assuming I am now doing it under the category "Cheque" and "Print Cheque", my question is on the paystub it shows a GST line, is there a way to remove this, or is it common to leave it on there (or did I possible not set it up correct?  It did not show up when I printed cheques using the desktop version so am just curious. I do remember entering GST as its own line item on desktop and see online has the option to include it. Any suggestions are appreciated.Thank you
