Question

I receive ACH's remits for the sales less fees. I set up recurring sales receipt putting fees under an income account of expenses with negative amounts. Thoughts?

Thanks for posting here, @Jenny04.

 

Let me share info on ACH payments and direct you to the best help for advice.

 

In QuickBooks, if you utilize ACH payments, we usually use expense accounts for fees. Moreover, I recommend contacting your accountant to gain insights into ways to accomplish your goal and assign fees to the exact account.

Thanks for the reply.  If you look at my post, I am using the expense accounts.  I created a reoccuring sales receipt by putting the expenses (Ad, transaction, marketing etc.) under expense accounts and sales under income accounts.  I am entered the expenses as negative on the sales receipt under products/services with the matching expense account under the income account section and the sales under products/services as positive under the matching income account section.

Basically, I am putting the gross sales, less refunds, fees (advertising, marketing, software, transaction etc fees) to equal net ACH (net sales receipt).  Has anyone ever done this?  I am trying to make life easier with less journal entries.  Thinking outside the box.
