QuickBooks Tip #19 - Memorizing Statement Charges

If you use the Statement Charge feature in Quickbooks, you can memorize these charges for your customers so that they show up automatically on the customer statements going forward.

If you enter statement charges automatically, you can add new customers to the memorized transaction group that you originally set up to enter the statement charges.

  • For each new customer, enter the statement charges that you want QuickBooks to enter automatically.
  • Memorize the statement charges, and add them to the memorized transaction group.
    • In the A/R or customer register, select the statement charge.
    • Go to the Edit menu and click Memorize Stmt Charge.
    • Click With Transactions in Group.
    • Click the Group Name drop-down list and choose the memorized transaction group you want to add the customer to.
    • Click OK.
  • When you have memorized all the new statement charges, delete them from the register.
    • In the A/R or customer register, select the statement charge.
    • Go to the Edit menu and click Delete Stmt Charge.
    • Click OK to confirm that you want to delete the statement charge.

Why delete the charges? When you use the memorized transaction group, QuickBooks re-enters the charges. If you leave the original charges in the register, the next time you print billing statements, the charges will appear twice.
