  • I take in multiple checks during the day and make one deposit to the bank. Do I simply post the checks to an undeposited cash (type) account and then do a transfer to record the single deposit or is there a better way? Thanks

  • Our customers pay for delivery. We therefor use refunds for Shipping & Delivery Income so the account shows zero. How do we then credit the Postage & Delivery expense account that is used for delivery bills so that it also show zero? I hope this makes sense.

  • In the past have been able to export en entire list of all invoices I have issued and this was part of the data export function. But this year I cannot find this data. How can I still get a record of all invoices issued? Thanks in advance for any help.

  • BC provides a small commission for collecting the PST and remitting to the government. So far Wave is recording the tax collected on the governments behalf on my sales and any payments I have made to the government. I end up with a balance owing to the government at the end of the year which is the amount allowed for this commission. How do I m…

  • Hi. What is the best way to deal with 2 divisions of my company. My son and I are both Consultants and we have separate bank accounts at separate banks, but its all under the same corporation, so I'd like to run both divisional and combined reports. What is the best way to do that with the least amount of manual consolidation?

  • Hi everyone! I have a question on Payment by Wave. By default, if a customer pay via Wave payment, the customer receipt will be recorded to the bank account "Payment by Wave". Where can I change the settings of the bank account? I would like to change it to my "Checking Account" instead. Thanks.

I'm living on a shoestring while I'm building so I don't have enough cash onhand to cover the expenses until I get paid. I have a business Checking account con…

  • We help students get into college. And on the side we volunteer and donate money to Youth In Government. So now that I got my donation receipt, how do I record it in Wave Accounting -- would it be an "expense"? If so, what is the "category" I should use? Lastly, how does Wave help me at the end of the year when I have to do my …

  • I am intensely frustrated. After spending hundreds of dollars in consulting and dozens of hours setting things up, Wave has become unusable over the last year and there's nothing I can do about the fact that I paid up front for functionality that was later removed. First, forwarding inline receipts was silently removed. I have had a todo item to …

    Is there a way to export transactions linked to a customer? I set up our donors as customers and linked them to their donation in accounting transactions. At year end I'd like to send them each a report for tax purposes.

  • Hi, Absolutely brand-spanking new to Wave and not yet used it for invoicing, so still got much to explore. Just wondering if it is possible to issue invoices after you've received payment? I receive a small but regular sum each month for video lessons. This means I am paid per every minute watched by my students and therefore do not know how much …

  • I have a few cards which do this, and have been the bane of my existence ever since I started using Wave. Let's say the statement ending date is 2/18/20. There will be a handful of transactions from 2/17 and 2/18 which are not included in the statement, presumably because they download with the transaction date but the statement is determined by…

This is one of those cards where there are transactions on the closing date of the statement which are not included in the statement, as I described here: https://community.waveapps.com/discussion/7304/reconcilin…
