However, the reconciliation date default to today and one of the times from the March 2019 Statement, I neglected to change the default date from Jan 2020 to March 2019. Now, it's only allowing me to reconcile for…

  • Hello all. I am looking for insights on how to measure my margin by customer, specifically "cost to serve." I have a customer who we're helping draft documents for, but they're constantly canceling the job or making changes after we've printed (literally) hundreds of pages. Since we're doing it internally and not through a vendor with…

  • Hi all, I invoice and receive payment through my CRM tool, but do bookkeeping in Wave. All of my PayPal transactions show in Wave, but it doesn't show how much I collected in taxes. How can I show what I need to pay in sales tax without adding it to each individual transaction? Any way to record a lump sum?

Now, I'd like to make payments from my business account towards the debt on my personal credit card. Amex doesn't allow balance transfers, so I can't move the debt to my business credit card. I have the computer set…

  • Since Jan 30, images (in the app) disappear after processing. Sometimes the thumbnail is ok on the list view, but upon opening it, i see “image not available.” However when posted to wave online, the receipt is actually there. Also, notes typed in on the app never seem to make it online after posting.

  • My apologies if this has been answered before. I searched, but could not find a discussion on this. To manage payments made on a website through credit cards, I have added a payment gateway (account) as a Cash & Bank account. I now: * Record a payment against an invoice as paid by credit card into the payment gateway account * Pass an entry …

  • Hello, when I add income under accounting, I wished to split the deposit so that I can keep track "Loss on foreign exchange" under one transaction, but I realized everytime I split the deposit the "Loss on foreign exchange" is not available for me to select but only "Gain on foreign exchange", so I have to add another…

  • Hi, I having difficulty understanding why I'm seeing the figures that I'm seeing in the Sales Tax Report. When I run the report, I expect the Sales Subject to Tax figure to be equal to income for the same period in the P&L report. However, I found it to be higher. I'm failing to understand how this can be the case. I do have some refunds for…

  • Fairly new Wave user here. Everything was fine and correct until I linked by bank account. Now the income is doubling, it would be nice if true, but it's not the case. I had a similar issue with doubling the cost of goods, when I paid for items with a credit card, then paid the credit card at the end of the month. ( I now just show bills as pai…

    I transfer money from my business account (connected to wave apps) to my personal account (not connected) via e-transfer. This shows up in my transactions as uncategorized. When I try to choose a category, there isn't a "Dividend" option or anything close to that. What's the recommended category to use for these transactions?

  • I need to create an entry for a client where we provided support and materials as a courtesy and won't be billing them for the time/materials, but do need to record these as an expense for the business. How/where? All I can find is "reimbursable expense" and this is a non-reimbursable.. :)

    I'm wondering which accounting category to use when I import goods which are components that go into a product that I then assemble and sell in my own country? I was thinking of just recording them under 'Freight and shipping costs', which would then be in the 'cost of goods sold' category for me, but not sure if this makes sense? A little backgr…

  • Today a customer called to say that she is getting overdue notices yet she paid the statement balance. When I looked at her account, she had paid the statement balance, and it was applied to ONE invoice instead of 2 invoices. That gave her a credit balance on one invoice and an overdue balance on the other. When the customer pays a statement balan…

  • As an ecommerce company we sell on several platforms that handle sales differently. For instance amazon handles all the transactions and deposits the end result into our bank account twice monthly. One the other hand shopify uses both stripe and paypal to manage payments. Stripe has a daily deposit but paypal holds the money till I transfer it. W…

  • I have a recurring invoice that my client paid via credit card. The payment is reflected in the payments tab. When I click on invoice, the invoice has a red highlight with over due. How can I fix this? The payment was made over 10 days ago.
