Hands On Practice
Now let's get started with the exercise. As a reminder, here is the scenario:
Your client, Craig, asked you to help him add a new service to his monthly invoice.
**What do you need to know?**
- The new service is **Weed control**
- The amount of the service is **$125.00**
- The customer is **Amy’s Bird Sanctuary**
**What do you need to do?**
Set up what is needed and record the appropriate transaction to track weed-control treatment for Amy’s Bird Sanctuary.
Then run a report to check the total amount of these unbilled charges.
First, we need to create the new Weed control service.
2
From the left navigation bar, hover over Sales, then select "Products & services".
3
Click "New".
4
Click "Service".
5
In the Name field, type "Weed control".
6
In the Sales price/rate field, type "125".
*The Income account field should already say "Services".*
For the purposes of this exercise, let's say Sales tax needs to be included on this item.
7
Click "Confirm".
8
Click "Save and close".
Now let's create the delayed charge for Amy.
9
Click the "+New" button, then select "Delayed charge".
10
In the Customer field, select "Amy's Bird Sanctuary".
For the purposes of this exercise, leave the Delayed Charge Date as is (defaults to today).
