supplier financing accounts
we are a small engine shop with a dealership from an equipment supplier (Toro). As part of our deal with them they provide us with a financing arrangement wherein they provide equipment that is financed by them and so we can pay them back interest free for a period of time. I have created this account as a credit card account in QBO which has worked for the most part however, when there is warranty work they provide us a credit for the parts and labour, and we need to invoice the work done so that the labour is accounted for in our P & L reporting. If I define this account as a bank instead of a credit card I could use a payment method to have the dealer 'pay' for the invoice and they by account for the effort as well as update the account with the credit provided by the supplier. But I'm not sure if there are other repercussion of making it a bank account rather than a credit card account!?! Does anyone else out there deal with supplier financing accounts and/or warranty work????
