Recording Daily Sales

Hi! I run a beauty salon and have no need to record each individual purchases as i have a salon package to do this..

How would i record daily and weekly sales?
for instance:
cash chq card
mon £100 £100 £500
tue £50 £50 £200
wed £10 £10 £300

The card sales enter the bank each day, but cheques and cash, only when i bank them usually every fortnight (not much call for cash and chques these days!)
regards lj

Hi Leslie,

For all transactions you can set the customer name to 'Daily Takings'

For each day you need to create two 'Money Received' transactions:
1. Group the cash and cheques together and set the Deposit Into Account to 'Money To Be Banked'
2. For credit cards set the Deposit Into Account to 'Cheque Account'.
Then once a fortnight when you bank your cash and cheques, create a new General Transaction from the 'Money To Be Banked' account to 'Cheque Account'.

So in your example, you would create 7 transactions:
Monday:
1. Money Received for £500 into Cheque Account
2. Money Received for £200 into Money To Be Banked account

Tuesday:
3. Money Received for £200 into Cheque Account
4. Money Received for £100 into Money To Be Banked account

Wednesday:
5. Money Received for £300 into Cheque Account
6. Money Received for £20 into Money To Be Banked account

Next week:
7. General Transaction for £320 from the Money To Be Banked account to the Cheque account

I hope this makes sense. Please let me know if you need more information.
