I'm a new quick books user. I have the 2007 Mac edition. I have had a basic accounting class in college and understand most accounting principles. My boss now wants me to be in charge of the bookkeeping and accounting for our small General Contracting construction company. I understand how to put in a bill and then pay it, but the thing I am having trouble with is how I enter in things I buy and pay for on the spot. Example: I wend and got some supplies at the hardware store, used cash. How do I then go and enter that receipt in? Do I have to enter it in as a bill then enter it in as pay a bill? That seems rather redundant. Another Example: I filled up the company car with gas. Used the credit/debit card. How do I enter that in? I'm sure this is a really simple problem but I cant seem to find anything in the tutorials.
Thanks for your help.
