Question – A/R when using Daily Sales Recaps

Summary

I spoke to you the other day regarding retail businesses and entering data from their cash register in QuickBooks. What is the best way to handle A/R in QuickBooks, but is a part of the daily entry we need to do? (i.e. fleet charges for automobile service shop)

Answer

The short answer is: The A/R transactions need to be handled separately from the daily sales summary. Each Invoice should be entered and each receipt against A/R should be entered separately. I prefer not to run these transactions through the cash register, but instead keep them in a separate log and then enter them later into QuickBooks.
