Last year, I had a number of sales that took advantage of coupons or free shipping. However, when Order Export downloads the Sales Receipt to Quickbooks (2005) - it downloads the sales receipt without the discount taken out - or with shipping cost included - so the Sales Receipt doesn't match what the actual sale was.


I then need to create a journal entry to record the discount or free shipping in order to balance the books.



However, at quarter end, my gross revenue is bloated - because the gross revenue recorded from sales receipts doesn't take into account discounts that were given over the quarter.



How are others dealing with this problem, and is there a solution. It seems clear that the sales receipts that are being downloaded into Quickbooks should be the "actual" sales receipt - not the sale before discount.



The other issue I have is sales tax payable. All my taxable items (i.e. products when purchased from and shipped to the state of California or Colorado) are being registered as non-taxable item. Is there a way for BV to tag these items properly for Quickbooks?
