Generating automatic purchases (from a sale)

[M_R]

We sell a service online, which results in us receiving a credit card payment into our account. Each order we receive results in us outsourcing some work to a supplier (at a fixed cost).

The supplier invoices us quarterly for the services we have used with them - which we then reconcile with the individual sales to ensure the totals add up.

This is quite a laborious process, and makes it difficult to know what our actual outgoings have been until we get the invoice.

Since we know the cost of this external service, it would be nice to automatically generate a new purchase, ideally each time a sale payment arrives in the bank account, but at the very least from a template.

Does this kind of facility exist anywhere in Quickfile? I’ve had a look but can;t see anything that seems to be what we need.

Hello @M_R

We have the option to rebill to client which allows entry of purchases/expenses to be then billed to a client account.

Unfortunately we do not have the facility to go the other way around.

I have changed the category of this thread to feature request, that way other forum members can vote on it and we can gauge the response.
