Retail sales recorded once a week

Hi,
i run a beauty salon and obviously take payment at time of service, how would i record end of week takings in solar accounts?

i currently just record the value of cash, cheque and credit card taken for the whole week. I do not need a breakdown of whom it has come from as i have a salon package that does this for me.

Help!

regards

Hi Lesley-Jane,

You only need to record two transactions at the end of each week:
1. A Money Received transaction for the total credit card payments, deposited into the Cheque Account
2. A Money Received transaction for the total cash and cheque payments, deposited into the Money To Be Banked account. When you bank this money, record a separate bank deposit as described here:

For both Money Received transactions you can just set the Received From name to 'Unknown Customer'.

Cheers,
