Proper Procedures

Hey everyone I have a question. How do I properly record in Qbooks this scenario.




> Borrower pays for roof(I am in the roofing business) via financing.
> The finance group then takes out their charge. How do I record this?
> Do I create a credit memo for the borrower? Do I record the payment
> minus the transaction charge?
>
> Borrower pays $20,000.00
> GE Financial 920.00
> Net Deposit 19,080.00
>
> A little help please?!! Thanks.

Raise a Invoice for $20,000.00 in favor of the borrower. On receiving payment, go to Receive Payment window, put $19080.00 in the 'Amount' field, click on Set Discount button, in the 'Amount of Discount' field put $920.00 and in the 'Discount Account' field put "Financing Charges" or any other account under 'Type' Expense in which you want the charges to appear.

IMHO, you create an invoice for 20k and apply a payment of 19080 and your customer still owes you $920 unless your company has decided to eat the fee. In that case, do as the others have told you.
