Hi Adeel104,

 

Welcome to Community!  Feeling confident about the transactions you enter is key in keeping your books balanced.  QuickBooks Online provides the features you need to simplify how you record your transactions.  I'd be glad to assist!

 

In order to record the shipping cost from a previous month, I suggest recording it as a retainer or deposit.  Another option would be to enter a supplier credit depending on how you enter the purchases.  If you enter bills you plan to pay at a later date, or if you enter expenses or create cheques.  If you're not sure, I recommend reaching out to your accountant for their expertise and best course of action.  If you don't have an accountant, we can help you locate a ProAdvisor in your local area.

 

Feel free to reach back out if you have any other questions.  We'd be happy to help!
