As a small food takeaway business, I am facing a challenge when attempting to record Just Eat sales as sales receipts in QuickBooks. The discrepancy between the net sales from my bank transactions and the gross sales from the sales receipts is causing the transactions to not match. Can you please advise on how to resolve this issue and ensure proper recording of these sales?

Hi Swindon, thanks for joining the QB Community. There are a couple of ways that this can be achieved - the first would be to exclude the transaction from your connected bank in QB, and record the gross sales using a sales receipt (+ New > Sales receipt). You can then enter the fees taken by Just Eat separately using an expense (+ New > Expense) - if you haven't already, you can set up an account to track these. To do this, click the Cog > Chart of Accounts > New > Select an expense-type account and re-name as desired. This account would then be selected in the 'category' field when entering expenses. 

 

If you'd prefer to match this to the downloaded bank transaction, you can instead create a manual bank deposit to match this to. To do this, create a sales receipt for the gross amount and then select the 'undeposited funds' account (this is a default account in QB) in the 'deposit to' field. After this, create a bank deposit (+ New > Bank deposit), selecting the account that this was paid to under 'account', the date that this was paid, and then tick the payment listed under 'Select the payments included in this deposit'. After this, scroll down to 'Add funds to this deposit', and enter the fee account in the 'account' field, and the fee amount as a negative (-) figure in the amount field. Once saved, you'll then see an automated match suggestion to this on your banking for-review page. 🙂
