  • One way of ensuring that VAT returns and Sales returns are accurate is if a report can be generated which shows all the transactions that do not have a sales tax to them. Is this available or can it be generated somehow?

  • Hi, it seems like the numbers listed for specific expenses in both of these sections are different and I don’t understand why. For example, for my personal accounting I have “groceries” as one of my expense categories. But when I look at the reports for grocery expense by clicking on “cash flow” and “profit and loss”, the numbers over a the same o…

  • I am trying to get reconcile last month's bank statement ending balance with the Wave balance, but the amount is off. This is the first time I am trying to reconcile the account, so I don't know if I can do a journal entry to get the balance to zero or if there is another way so I can continue to reconcile the account each month. Does anyone know …

  • Recording payment manually for a bill is asking for 'payment account'. Previously, it didn't ask for that! I'm not sure which account to select because the bill is for two different products with two different expense account. Those expense accounts were already associated while creating those products under 'bill section' Is it a technical issue…

  • My account was upgraded at the beginning of November to the new interface. Payments by Wave (PbW) was working as expected until December 3, in that the PbW Account would be zero after the deposits were paid out. After that date, the paid out deposits no longer match the net credits and now it looks like too much was paid out (the bank deposits mat…

  • I recently purchased a new camera for my photography business and payed shipping on it. I feel like the shipping should be separate from the item cost especially since it's a depreciatable asset. Can I categorize the shipping in the same account as what I use for shipping product out to clients or should I make a new account? Thanks!

  • I understand that the IRS classifies a payment as complete when I hand the check to the vendor. So, that's a 2019 expense. It's marked paid in Wave. However, the vendor hasn't cashed the check, so on my bank statement, this will show up on Jan 2020. What's the best way to handle this for reconciliation, or does it even matter since I already h…

  • Hi - My invoices include management fees and expenses for reimbursement. I've discovered the "split invoice" option when adding payment. Tried splitting the reimbursement funds and recategorizing them as "reimbursements" but it loses connection to the original invoice and appears I have unpaid funds. Is there a way to split inv…

  • I create an invoice as usual. When I come to record payment or a Bill however, the category states the invoice number. If I pay it and then enter a category of, for example, Consulting, the transaction updates but my desktop then displays the invoice as not being paid. Am I doing something wrong?
