How to process a Gift Certificate Donation

Question

Hi! I sometimes donate a gift certificate to my business. Now, in order to register that particular gift certificate, i have to associate the money amount with the gift certificate number, ie sell one. But that would short me money on the register. Any ideas? M

You could have a non-inventory item with a negative value. You then 'sell' the voucher and right after put the negative value item on the same transaction making the total sale $0 but still putting value on the voucher. You would be able to track the non-inventory item to know how much you are giving to charity. You could take it one step further and make a voucher specifically for this, and have the non-inventory item tag along. This would eliminate the step of adding the non-inventory item manually.Craig

Manny,I set up a house account with my name. I simply "charge" my donations to my house account. That way, I dont short my till and I have a good way to remember what I donated
