 I'm now so let's try it. Let's try another method over here that you could use and you could pick which method which would be best for you It might depend on you know, what industry you're in for example. Are you in an industry where all of your? Sales are gonna be prepayments because you sell subscription model stuff Or do you only have some of them that are gonna be prepayments like a down payment like we're talking about here on A guitar or something like that all right So let's say that we're gonna say that we have let's first pretend that someone called in and They're gonna say hey, I want some guitars, so we'll make an estimate They're calling in and they're like I want to buy some guitars and let's we'll say we'll we'll tell you how much it costs So let's say it's string music And we're just gonna make an estimate says see what see what they're talking about and we'll put it on 227 let's say and So if I tap through this, I'm gonna say okay, let's say that they want an EPST an Epiphone standard pro and we're gonna say okay, and they just want one of those So I'm gonna say all right We got one of those here on the estimate that would be the 600 and then if I I could apply the sales tax I'm gonna do the generic thing with the sales tax and just take the 5% for our example problem So we could tell them okay. It would be 630 and then we could say okay Whatever our policy is we want to get some portion of that down as a down payment so that we can hold on to the guitar for you Because like that's a super popular guitar Especially that plaid one that you want and that one I had someone come in just like five seconds ago wanting that So if you want me to hold on to that Then you're gonna have to give me like a down payment and I can use this to kind of calculate The down payment so then we could say okay. Let's save that let's save and close it and then the question is well How am I going to? Collect the down payment. I could last time we used the Received payment form that wasn't that's usually the second step after the invoice this time We're gonna use a sales receipt which is kind of an unnatural form to use because we're not actually Completing the sale here where we're recording a deposit money that we're getting before we did the work So it's it's a little bit wonky to use it But but it's still it still makes sense because we're getting money from the customer Okay, so then I'm gonna type in here string music string music for the customer and I'm gonna go down and Everything looks good the payment. I'll just do the cash again It's gonna go into the payments to deposit instead of directly into the checking account Which is our standard practice thus far and then the key is down here I'm not gonna put the actual guitar that they are purchasing But instead I'm gonna I'm gonna basically make a new item to record the down payment or the deposit that they're gonna make So I'm gonna hit the drop-down. I'm gonna add an item and It's not gonna be an inventory item possibly I could use a non inventory I'm just gonna call it like a service item though, and then I'm gonna call it our customer deposit Customer deposit no SKU no category. I'll put that in the description I'm not gonna put the actual sales price because I want to populate that in the sales receipt myself It's not gonna go to a service income though because it's not income. That's the point I want to put it into a liability account of unearned revenue or customer deposit or whatever we want to call it That's the point So I have to create a new account because we don't have one of those set up here yet So I'll just add a new account as we go New account. It's gonna be an other current liability account and Deferred revenue. I'll keep it there. I'm gonna call it On Revenue that's what that's like the textbook Typical calculation, but you might call it customer deposit or something whatever makes sense to you The key is it's gonna be a liability account. So we'll say save it and There shouldn't be any tax on it. So I'm not gonna make it a taxable thing here non taxable and There it is. So now I could say save it close it and then There's our customer deposit and I could put in the rate and let's just say it's a hundred dollars I'm just gonna say a hundred dollars and that's how much we're gonna we're gonna receive and that would be based on the estimate that we made I'm just gonna make up the hundred dollars for our practice problem purposes No sales tax applied to it. So the sales receipt looks like a sales kind of document That's what the form is it usually a sales form, but we use the form to drive it to unearned revenue We're receiving money from the customer, which is like a sale kind of thing But we didn't actually provide the goods or services yet Which is usually when you use the sales receipt form when the goods and services are provided. What's this gonna do? Well, it's gonna increase the payments to be deposited That's what the sales receipt form does and the other side is gonna be driven by the item But the item is not driving it to an income account like it normally does but instead a liability account unearned revenue So now we're gonna say save it and close it
