Accounts receivable credits - Reckon Hosted

Hi Linda - you have 2 options - 1. as there is GST on both the sale amount and the commission deduction - it should work provided you use GST as the tax code on both lines - but this will result in the commission being deducted from your total Sales on the Tax Summary report so your G1 will be less than it actually is (although that's not really the end of the world)... option 2 - is that you put the commission deduction in a Bill and here you can use the NCG tax code so it shows up as an expense... you will then need a bank account that you will call a name like Sales Suspense or similar - you will need to then Receive a payment to clear the full amount of the sale value to this suspense account, you will then need to do a Pay bills to clear the amount of the commission deduction to the suspense account - and then you need to transfer the net figure from the suspense account to the bank account to reflect the actual amount received from the customer... pretty long winded approach... but the more accurate one..  most people would go for Option 1 if they are not too concerned about what they report as total sales to the ATO...  but if you mix the tax codes you will have the issues you describe....
