Sometimes you will receive money from a source other than your Clients such as a commission or a referral fee. Funds that come into your business and are not payment for services or merchandise can be recorded as a Miscellaneous Cash Receipt.
To enter a Miscellaneous Cash Receipt:
Go to Accounting in the navigation bar to the left and click on Cash Receipts.
On the Cash Receipts screen click the +Add Misc button.
On the Add Miscellaneous screen, input the Date of the receipt, Payment Type and the Amount. The Name and Check Number are optional.
For the Offset Account, you want to select the appropriate Account to record the Commission. Often, this may be a Commission Revenue Account as the example below demonstrates. When finished, click on Save.
Back on the Cash Receipts screen, select Actions > Post.
