R.O. Writer Sales	Other Asset
Everything except the credit card deposits and the Accounts Payable Invoices are posted to QuickBooks as one big general journal entry where the credits equal the debits. The transactions are held in this account. If you view this account in QuickBooks, you will see a general journal entry for each day you imported with a 0.00 balance. If you click on the split to see the detail of the transaction, you may see something similar to the below window. On the left are debits and the right are credits. Depending on the type of account as mentioned earlier in this document, debits and credits can be increases or decreases. All general journal entries must balance i.e., debits=credits. In the above example: A debit to the Checking account (Asset) is the deposit (Increase). A debit to the Accounts Receivable account (Asset) account is a charge (Increase). A debit to the Parts Costs account (Cost of Goods Sold) account is cost of parts sold (Increase). A credit to the Accounts Receivable account (Asset) account is a payment (Decrease). A credit to the Finance Charges account (Income) account is a payment toward a finance charge (Increase). A credit to the Sales Tax account (Liability) is sales tax collected (Increase). A credit to the Shop Supplies Sales account (Income) is shop supplies collected (Increase). A credit to the Advance Payments account (Liability) is Advanced payments received (Increase). A credit to the Taxable Parts Sales account (Income) is Taxable Parts Sales (Increase). A credit to the Taxable Fee1 account (Liability) is fees collected from parts (Increase). A credit to the Inventory account (Asset) is cost of parts sold (Decrease). Notice the amount charged to Accounts Receivable was 168.59. In this case, it was one repair order which only part(s) were sold. If you add up the following credits, sales tax, shop supplies, taxable parts sales, and taxable fee 1, it all equals the total charged to Accounts Receivable. Notice the amount deposited to the Checking account was 1143.00. If you add up the Accounts Receivable payments, finance charges paid, and advance payments made on a ticket not yet closed, they all equal the total deposit (money collected).
