I'm based in Ireland and I don't know how to enter and manage Easytrip Invoices. Each statement has an opening balance, then they take the 80euro top-up ?? Stuck !

Knowing the importance of accurately recording Easytrip transactions in QBO for well-maintained financial tracking, I genuinely value the necessity for timely assistance and a sense of urgency, @info2109. Let's work together to address this and with attention to detail.

Since you're referencing invoices from Easytrip, then transactions should be recorded and tracked as bills or expenses in QBO.

But first, let's set up Easytrip as a supplier:

1. Go to the Expenses tab and select Suppliers.
2. Click on New Supplier.
   
   
   
   
3. Enter Easytrip in the Supplier display name.
4. Complete all the necessary fields.

Each time you incur a charge from Easytrip, we'll record it as a bill in QBO. After you've settled these bills, we should also record each payment. Then, use recurring transactions for auto-top-ups, by choosing Espense as the Transaction Type to manage it.

Before creating bills, bill payments, and expenses, let's set up expense accounts in your Chart of Accounts (COA) where transactions will be categorized. However, it's advisable to consult with an accountant when setting up your accounts, as they can provide tailored accounting advice that best suits your specific needs:

• Prepaid expense account for top-ups
• Toll expense account for toll expenses

To proceed, here's how to record a bill for your tolls:

1. Go to the Expenses tab.
2. Click on New Transaction and select Bill.
   
   
   
   
3. Choose Easytrip for the Supplier.
4. Select the Toll expense account for your Category.
5. Fill out the necessary details then click Save and Close.

Then, record bill payments. Ensure to select the bank account associated with your Easytrip:

1. Go to the Expenses tab.
2. Click on Pay Bills.
3. Select the appropriate bank account.
4. Select Save and Close.

Additionally, the opening balance shown on your statement varies based on how it is structured. If it is a prepaid balance, this indicates the credit that is already available in your Easytrip account. If not, it represents pending charges or amounts due for tolls that have not been paid yet.

To keep track of the opening balance, you can follow the following process:

• Supplier Credit if it's prepaid balance
• Bill if it's pending charges

I'll provide this useful resource that offers guidance on managing bills and expenses in QBO: Learn the difference between bills, cheques, and expenses.

Furthermore, let's reconcile your accounts in QBO so they always match your bank and credit card statements. This ensures your books are balanced and up-to-date.

Taking these steps appropriately will help you achieve precise records of your Easytrip transactions. If you have follow-up questions, fill me in so I can provide you with the service you deserve.
