Entering shipping costs

Question

Just a question about shipping costs. Above a certain amount, the customer does not have to pay shipping costs. Do I enter the shipping costs for myself as an expense? Is the email from bpost sufficient proof for this? It does not state the vAT amount and is not really an invoice.

I think you should always enter shipping costs as an expense. Whether or not you pass them on to your customer, they are initially an expense for you, aren't they?

I think the email from Bpost is good enough, as long as it states that you have sent something, the amount, the supplier, etc. You cannot reclaim vAT because it is not an invoice, but I would think it counts as proof of payment?

Yes, you're right. You have a point there. I had only considered the shipping costs as income, not as an expense. Can I bundle the shipping costs or do I really have to enter each payment of 5.7 euro separately?

I would bundle them, otherwise it will take you quite a long time, I think :p

Just make one document and enter everything as one large amount!
