Question

Two Payments on One Receipt

What is the correct way / best practice to deal with two payments on one receipt. 
For my case a large bill was paid by credit card, the credit card was paid, then the balance of the bill was paid by the same credit card.
Now in quick books online the transactions show up as two items, but I only have one receipt. 

Do I put the receipt in twice? 
Is there a way to split the payments on the receipt?

Thanks

There has to be simpler solution then talking to an accountant. This seems like a very common situation. Perhaps someone else could assist. Thanks

To  make sure I'm understanding your question, you have an invoice you need to pay to a supplier and you made a payment on it using your credit card - but not the whole amount was paid.  Then you paid off your credit card and used your credit card again to make payment on the balance owing of the invoice - is this correct?  

 

If I've misunderstood please clarify 🙂

Correct,

End result  being I have two credit card transactions, but only one receipt.

I just want to know if there is a best practice for dealing with  this? Scan the receipt twice or does Quick Books have a method of splitting a receipt?

I've had similar and I use the same receipt for both transactions.  When I enter the payment I use A and B as part of the Ref no. so that I know it's a partial payment but with one receipt.  I'm not sure if QBO has the ability to split a receipt so I attach the same receipt to both payment transactions I enter.
