Entering daily receipts correctly

AD
19/02/2022
Question

Dear Sir/Madam,

Until now, I have been entering my daily receipts per customer: by entering their name and purchase amount. From your help article, I acknowledge that this is not the correct way to do it.Below are a few questions regarding the correct entry of daily receipts:

– I sell 30-50 different models of earrings in different colours. Do I have to create a separate line every day for each type and colour of earring sold, or can I just create an item called ‘earrings’ with the sum of all types of earrings as income? And if I were to sell bracelets in the future, would I add a second item called ‘bracelets’ with the corresponding income?

– I assume that the part of the income that was charged as shipping costs should be entered as a separate item called ‘shipping costs’?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

Giel from the Dexxter team here!

The fact that you do it per customer, stating their name and the total amount, is certainly good. However, that is not enough, because it does not describe in sufficient detail what you have sold specifically to that specific customer. You need to provide a little more detail about what you have sold specifically to that customer.In fact, during a tax audit, the government wants to be able to do the next: how many products from X, Y & Z did you purchase? And were those products X, Y & Z also sold? Or are they still in your inventory? Fortunately, they don't check every purchase invoice to see where you sold that product. But they still want to be able to see the earrings from a purchase price of £10, those from a purchase price of £20 and those from a purchase price of £30 (as an example), so that they can also find them on the sale side. This means they can link them together (purchases > sale) by means of a description in your daily receipts book, for example. The price is obviously different on the sales side, which is fortunate :) But there should still be some structure within the daily receipts, so that you can clarify this later during an audit.

The amount you charge as shipping costs on top of the regular sale can also be included in the turnover. If you want, you can create a separate line for this, but you can also just include it in the "regular sell". Thank you for your answer!

So if I write the customer's name, the amount of pairs of earrings, and the price of each pair of earrings in the description of my daily receipts, would that be okay? Is there an option that would be less work? For example, just the customer's name, the amount of pairs of earrings and the total amount? Or, for example, just the customer's name and then refer to 'Wix.com' because all these purchases are already stated here anyway?
