Income in Advance- Using Expected date

Scenario

Sales invoice generated from franchisor system at the time quote accepted. Job not undertaken until deposit paid and work scheduled. Since Covid 1-2 years wait for job to be done! Sales invoices all recorded as sales – but not actually taxable income until work completed.

Solution needed to identify jobs not yet started in order to account for Income in Advance.

Solution:

  • Use ‘Expected date’ for planned installation date – and ONLY for this purpose
  • Use Receivable Invoice Detail report with filter options
  • Save as a custom report
  • When installation dates further delayed the expected date is updated
  • Documented procedures to ensure correct actions taken.
