Can I have a charity column like a discount column in the invoice.

Hi joshua15,

Thanks for reaching out to the Community space.

Unfortunately, we're unable to add a charity column to your invoices. Though, I can share another way of recording the donation of products or services that you sell.

First, you'll have to create an invoice for the products or services you donated. Then, set up an account for charitable contributions. Here's how:

1. Select Accounting from the sidebar menu.
2. Go to Chart of Accounts.
3. Click New.
4. Choose Expenses from the Account Type drop-down menu.
5. Select Charitable Contributions from the Detail Type drop-down menu.
6. Enter a Name for the account (for example, Charitable Contributions).
7. Click Save and Close.

Once done, you may now create a product/service item for charitable contributions:
 

1. Select Accounting from the sidebar menu.
2. Go to the Products and Services tab, then click New.
3. In the Product/Service information panel, select the type of product or service.
4. Enter a Name for the item (for example, Charitable Contributions).
5. Tick the I sell this product/service to my customers option.
6. Select the Charitable Contributions account you've created earlier from the Income account drop-down menu.
7. Click Save and Close.

To reflect the amount of your donation, you'll need to issue a credit memo for the value of the products or services

1. Click the + New button, choose Credit Memo.
2. Select the customer you donated the product or service to.
3. In the Product/Service column, select the Charitable Contributions item, then enter the amount of your donation as a positive number.
4. In the Memo field, enter Donation or Charitable Contribution.
5. Click Save and Close.

Lastly, to ensure that the donation has been correctly recorded, you can review the transactions in the Customer Transaction List tab. I'll guide you how:

1. Select Accounting from the sidebar menu.
2. Go to the Customers.
3. Choose the customer you donated the product or service to.
4. Click the Transaction List tab.
5. Confirm that the invoice you've created has a Paid status. the credit memo is noted as Close, and a new payment transaction is listed, with $0.00 listed in the Total column and Closed status.

I've also included an article that will help you track the inventory items you're donating or giving away.

Keep me posted if you have any other concerns or further questions about this topic. Looking forward to helping you out again.
