Instead of recording daily charge-on-account transactions to specific accounts, I have been just been subtracting these amounts from daily sales. What's the better way to do that?

Hi, John.

 

Nothing to worry about, since you got me here to assist you in regards to recording your daily charge in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

 

What you are doing is correct regarding sales transaction amounts. By deducting these amounts from daily sales, you streamline the recording process, making it quicker and less labor-intensive.

 

However, it would be advisable to keep a separate record of charge-on-account transactions if detailed records are required. I suggest contacting your accountant for advice on which option would be more beneficial for you.

 

This article discusses how Accounts Payable Workflows in QuickBooks Desktop help you monitor the amounts you owe to your vendors.

 

In addition, you can customize the data, add or delete columns, add or remove information on the header/footer, and even personalize the font and style of the report: Customize reports in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

I'll be right here to keep helping if you need additional assistance in recording daily charges for your transactions to QuickBooks. Don't hesitate to tag me below.

Create invoices and receive payments on them.  The customer's balance due will sit in A/R until payments are received.  Using invoices allows QB to accurately report cash vs. accrual income depending on which method you use.
