It’s important to note that “support salaries” typically represent the wages or salaries paid to employees who provide customer support and are considered expenses rather than revenue. To record the sale of any products or services, such as customer support services, you should use “Invoices” or “Sales Receipts” in QuickBooks.
If you’re selling customer support services and want to record the revenue in QuickBooks, follow these steps:
1. Log In to QuickBooks:
- Open your QuickBooks account and log in.
2. Create an Invoice:
- Go to the “Customers” or “Sales” menu.
- Select “Create Invoice.”
3. Choose the Customer:
- Select the customer who is purchasing the customer support services from your customer list.
4. Add Line Items:
- In the invoice form, add line items for the support services. This should include:
- A description of the service.
- The date of service.
- The quantity or hours of service.
- The rate or price per service.
5. Calculate the Total Amount:
- QuickBooks will automatically calculate the total amount for the invoice based on the line items you added.
6. Review and Save:
- Review the invoice to ensure all details are accurate.
- If everything looks correct, click “Save” to record the sale of customer support services.
This process records the revenue generated from the sale of customer support services in QuickBooks. Ensure that you choose the appropriate income account category when creating the invoice to correctly categorize the revenue.
As for recording the salaries paid to employees providing customer support, these are typically recorded as expenses under “Payroll” in QuickBooks. You should set up your payroll accounts and processes to accurately track employee salaries, taxes, and other payroll-related expenses.
If you have specific questions about your financial setup or how to record revenue or expenses in QuickBooks, it’s a good practice to consult with an accountant or financial advisor to ensure proper categorization and compliance with accounting and tax standards.
