Entering Sales/Commission Information?
Entering Sales/Commission Information?
I am part of a brand new Real Estate office that is in the process of setting up our books using quickbooks. I have figured out tracking reimbursable expenses and several other aspects of our business but seem to be caught up on tracking sales and commissions. When setting up my quickbooks online I choose the Real Estate option. So far I have set up each property as a client and all agents as both clients and vendors. I will be using the vendor function to pay commissions and the client function to charge fees.
What is the proper way to input the information related to each sale into quickbooks online? Our current split between all agents and the company is 70/30. I know that I always need to track the total commission even though title companies sometimes issue checks directly to the agent and send us only our split. How is this done? I have tried trail and error with no success, I can get the bank register to read correctly but the commissions income and other accounts are not. Not sure what I am doing wrong.
I thank everyone in advance for their help,
AC
