How to do multiple deductions on payments?

When I go to record a payment, I usually use the button to record discounts and credits on the payment page. I typically take off the service fee here for Stripe or Paypal, but if the customer took advantage of a $25/month discount I want to put that in too. QB Win Desktop Pro 2017 only seems to allow one discount. How can I put both of these? I don't want to add them together because the paypal/stripe thing is a bank charge and the discount is a different accounting category.

Let me help you add multiple deductions, Diver4242.

 

To start with, let's create a credit memo. It will serve as our first deduction. Here's how:

  1. Click Customers.
  2. Go to Create Credit Memos/Refunds.
  3. Fill in the necessary fields, then click Save & Close.

Next, let's receive the customer's payment, create a discount, and add the credit. Here's how:

  1. Click Customers.
  2. Go to Receive Payments, then select the customer.
  3. Click Discounts and Credits.
  4. Go to the Discounts tab, then enter the discounted amount.
  5. Select the discount account.
  6. Go to the Credits tab, then select the credit created earlier.
  7. Click Done.
  8. Click Save & Close.
