1 QUICKBOOKS PRO 2008 WORKSHOP 5: PART A MARS COMPANY Recording Transactions in the Sales, Receive Pay Bills, Purchases, and Pay Bills Journals This workshop adds to QuickBooks skills learned in Workshops 1 through 4, so complete those workshops before beginning this one. In this workshop you learn to use the Customer and Vendor modules of QuickBooks. You will first learn to record customer sales and cash receipt transactions before moving on to vendor bill and payment transactions. You will also learn to print aged receivables and aged payables reports. You will need to download the Mars Company data file for QuickBooks 2008 from the MyAccountingLab website before beginning this workshop. Refer to the Installing QuickBooks Pro and Student Data Files document for instructions on downloading this file. We next provide information on using the Customer and Vendor modules of QuickBooks. Customer Module The Customer module of the software is used to manage customer accounts and to record sales invoice, sales return, and cash receipt transactions. The following section of the Home page contains icons for accessing customer transaction windows.

2 QuickBooks Pro 2008 Workshop 5: Part A Mars Company Page 2 You will be posting customer sales invoices, sales credits, and cash receipts in this workshop. Sales invoices are posted through the Create Invoices window, which is opened by clicking the Create Invoices icon. Sales credits are posted through the Create Credit Memos/Refunds window, which is opened by clicking the Refunds & Credits icon. Finally, cash receipts are posted through the Receive Payments window, which is opened by clicking the Receive Payments icon. We will show you more on these windows later. If you click this button on the Home page or this icon on the toolbar then you will open the Customer Center illustrated next. The Customers & Jobs tab is for viewing transactions by customer account. Highlight a customer on the left and set filters on the right to choose transactions to display. If you need to correct a transaction then simply double click to reopen it, make changes, and resave. We will provide more instructions on this later.

3 QuickBooks Pro 2008 Workshop 5: Part A Mars Company Page 3 The Transactions tab (next illustration) is for viewing transactions by type. You select a type on the left and enter filtering information on the right to select transaction for display. Again, you can double click to reopen transactions. The customer module of QuickBooks handles all the tedious posting steps involving accounts receivables. This means that posting transactions in the Create Invoices and Create Credit Memos/Refunds windows automatically posts transactions to the sales journal and

4 QuickBooks Pro 2008 Workshop 5: Part A Mars Company Page 4 customer accounts receivable subsidiary ledger. Posting transactions in the Receive Payments window automatically posts transactions to the cash receipts journal and the customer accounts receivable subsidiary ledger. Finally, posting transactions in either window automatically integrates those transactions with general ledger accounts managed by the general ledger module. Computerized Aged Receivable Report Because the software automatically updates a customer s accounts receivable subsidiary ledger, you can easily print an Aged Receivables report (i.e., a computerized version of the schedule of accounts receivable). We will show you how to do this later. Mars Company s Aged Receivables report at February 29, 2008 appears next. (Note: QuickBooks calls this report the A/R Aging report.) The company offers all its customers the payment terms of 2/10, n/30. Vendor Module The Vendor module of the software is used to manage vendor accounts and to record vendor bill, return, and payment transactions. You will use the following section of the Home page to process transactions. Again, icons in this section open vendor transaction windows.

5 QuickBooks Pro 2008 Workshop 5: Part A Mars Company Page 5 You will also record vendor bills, returns, and payments in this workshop. Vendor bills and returns are posted through the Enter Bills window, which is opened by clicking the Enter Bills icon. Vendor payments are posted through the Pay Bills window, which is opened by clicking the Pay Bills icon. We will show you more on this later. If you click this button on the Home page or this icon on the toolbar then you will open the Vendor Center illustrated next. This center functions similar to the Customer Center. You can view transactions by vendor using the Vendors tab. You can view transactions by category using the Transactions tab. Again, both tabs contain filters for selecting transactions to display and you can reopen transactions by double clicking.

6 QuickBooks Pro 2008 Workshop 5: Part A Mars Company Page 6 Like the customer module, the vendor module handles all the tedious posting steps involving accounts payable transactions. This means that posting transactions in the Enter Bills window automatically posts transactions to the purchases journal and accounts payable subsidiary ledger. Posting transactions in the Pay Bills window automatically posts transactions to the cash disbursements journal and accounts payable subsidiary ledger. Finally, posting transactions in either window automatically integrates those transactions with general ledger accounts managed by the general ledger module. Computerized Aged Payables Report Because the software automatically updates a vendor s accounts receivable subsidiary ledger, you can easily print an Aged Payables report (i.e., a computerized version of the schedule of accounts payable). We will show you how to do this later. Mars Company s Aged Payables report at February 29, 2008 appears next. (Note: QuickBooks calls this the A/P Aging report.)
