Taxi Driver. Cash, Account and Credit sales

Accounting
1

Hi All,

We’re a small taxi firm running 3 cars, we take Cash, Credit Cards and Account Customers.

We’ve not been using Quickfile for long… but dealing with Cash is simple … the Credit Card payments are ok…

I’ve read this page:

http://help.quickfile.co.uk/main/1/accounting_for_daily_takings.htm

But how do I allocate some of my takings to ‘General Customer Account’ ?

For example:

A driver pays in £300 at the end of the week.

£200 is Cash … no problem … goes into the Petty Cash Account.
£50 is Card Payments… again … no problem.
£50 is Credit on what we call a General Customer Account.

The Account is for people who run an account with us, then pay either by Card or Cash when it suits.

Once I try to file the Invoice, following instructions on the above link… I can’t put something to the ‘General’ account.

Is it something wrong with my settings as regards Accounts or my Category ?

All help appreciated !

Regards

Stu

I think maybe what you’re trying to do, is create an invoice for the client, but do not mark it as paid.

When they do they pay (whether that be cash, card etc), tag that payment to any relevant invoices.

So, follow the example at the link as far as ‘Log Payment’, and sort that later when the client pays. This would also give you a good idea of what they owe you too.

I think this may be what you’re looking for.
