  • Hello, I'm new to capturing receipts on wave . I am trying to capture a receipt for an expense made to purchase an asset. I am not able to attach this receipt to a category because there are no asset accounts in the category drop down list under receipts. Does anyone have a walk around for this please?

  • I have read the help sheet on recording capital assets and depreciation too. It doesn't tell me how I keep track of a specific asset when depreciating. Your dcumentation talks only of a general depreciation account with no reference to the asset it refers to. I understand this is so as not to undervalue the value of assets that a business owns bu…

I charge a flat hourly rate for different products but I update the product description on each item to tell my customer what I did for them. Currently I have 100+ items with the same title but different descriptions. Can I just have a single item and change the descript…

  • Hi, I am a freelancer that gets paid as both a 1099 and W2. When I get paid under a W2 the company will withhold taxes for me. My CPA got a little confused on how I had categorized my W2's. She associates invoice payments as 1099, which makes sense. I was creating invoices for my W2 jobs but this caused a lot of confusion when it came time to file…

  • Hi Everyone, I'm in Margate, KZN, South Africa. Where are you based in RSA and how are you enjoying WaveApps? I've been using it with my clients for over a year, and its awesome. Some use it just for invoicing and others for actually doing their books monthly or annually.

  • Can someone please tell me how to split a payment between 2 payment accounts? e.g. purchasing an item using 2 different accounts. I see no way to do this other than by a JE or entering a piece in one account, and the other piece in the 2nd account. Is it possible to do this in one transaction? Thanks, Denise

However I don't know how to get the actual net profit as the total payment recorded is not subtracted with COGS. As far as I know COGS is when you have inventory but I don't as my customer buys …
