Post by Johnny5 »

How do you close out an invoice for a shop vehicle so the expense is recorded?

I run the vehicle just as if it was a customers. Make Check the method of payment, in the check number I enter a note.

I do not use Mitchell for any EOD reports. I take my invoices, tally them up and enter them manually into excel. In excel I make an entery of the amount that the shop vehicles invoice was, and make an offsetting entry. With notes to the accountant of the details.

We put in all of the labor & parts as a normal customer but then zero out the ticket. We still give the tech the time.

We put in the parts and labour onto the invoice but zero out the labour but still give the tech their time. Then we make all the parts our cost for the pricing and pay for it all with the shop credit card. We then print two copies out one to go with the rest of our customers invoices and the other to put into the shop vehicles file.
