Services from supplier

1

Hellos everyone
In my company there are some services we get from some suppliers or i dont know what to name like transportation, installation of scaffolds, and some other Services which should be entered as a bill on our company and ne paid later after a period of time
I want to learn how to do that and how to create these suppliers which are not related to inventory items.
Can anyone help please?

It is a little unclear what tasks in Manager you are comfortable with at the moment.
I guess you are familiar with creating customers, supplier and invoices to both. If so it appear the new issue is how to enter supplies you purchase directly for a customer and pass costs onto the the customer, see Invoice billable expenses guide

You are going to have to be more specific. If you have read these Guides:

https://www.manager.io/guides/7020
https://www.manager.io/guides/7189

what, exactly, do you not understand? There are no other links to provide.

thanks for your response again
for example if i have a warehouse and im selling my goods. a truck delivers the goods to the customers and i want to record the payment for this truck because its our company’s duty to pay to the truck and its not always the same amount of money
how to have a record of this payment for this truck so i can easily differentiate when i export a report

no dear
thanks for your reply
i mean how to to pay for services but not in a regular (receipt and payment) section. i want to enter the record for services such as delivery truck and other services the same way i make a purchase invoice but as you know for purchase invoice i will have inventory and for services i will just pay and wont get any physical stuff except for their services

I’m still not clear what you are already familiar with in Manger

  • Are you currently just trying to work out if Manager would be suitable for your business?
  • Have you created a test business and experimented with imaginary but typical transactions?
  • What are you currently using Manager to do in your business?
  • What tabs are you regularly using?

thanks
im using it for

  • sales, sales invioces and receipts from clients
  • purchase order, invoices, and payments
  • basic payments
  • i have not created a test business i directly used it for our company
    im using summery, receipts and payments, suppliers, customers, capital accounts, sales invoices, inventory items, reports,

the only problem i have i want to know where to record invoices and payments for services i get from a supplier continously which are not related to inventory because they are just services like delivery, scaffold installing, and other services i get
regards

That will depend on how your supplier is paid

If you receive an invoice which you pay later, then create a Supplier, create a Purchase Invoice and then enter a Payment when you pay the invoice

If you pay on the spot, without any credit, then you can just enter a Payment directly

In both of these options, post the amount due/paid to the appropriate expense account - transport service, scaffolds, etc

On your purchase invoices you can simply enter a GL account to charge the service to, or, if you want these to be more ‘like’ inventory items, you can create ‘Non-Inventory Items’ (under setting tab) for purchased services and point those items to a default GL account. You can then essentially use them on a purchase invoice in the same manner as inventory items except they only charge the expense to account, they don’t in any way change inventory. Anyway, I’m not 100% sure it was what you were asking but if just want to ‘items’ for services use ‘non-inventory’ items. If you are going to be purchasing the same service or services over and over again, its very useful. Hope that helps.

I think you should to use Billable expenses instead Non-Inventory Items, that because you are buying a service for a customer from other provider, not for your business. See Billable expenses.
