Sales and Income
TopicsThis chapter covers the following topics:
• The Sales and Income Workflow
• Setting Up Customers and Jobs
• Recording Sales Transactions
• Receiving Payments from Customers
• Making Bank Deposits
• Using Income Tracker
Teaching TipsIn this chapter, students learn about the sales and income workflow and how to track income from initially recording sales transactions to depositing money in the bank. The steps that comprise the sales and income workflow are a crucial concept for students to understand when working with invoices.
The steps are:
1. Invoicing
2. Receiving payments
3. Making deposits
These steps are the key to being able to track accounts receivable, sales, customer balances, and income.
Students learn several ways to record sales and income-related transactions, such as sales receipts, invoices, receiving payments, and depositing funds. It’s important to record deposits in a bank account in the same way that the bank posts the deposits. If the deposits don’t match, performing a bank reconciliation in QuickBooks can be difficult.
