Registering income

Sist oppdatert

This help article shows you how to register income in Conta.

All invoices you send from Conta are recorded automatically. If you do not use KID on your invoices, you only need to register the payment on the invoice once you see in your online bank that it has been paid. If you have income that does not come from an issued invoice, you need to register it as income in your accounts.

To register income, go to the top menu > Accounting > Transaction> Register new transcation > Register income.

Upload your voucher under Transactions.

Then fill in information about the customer and what you have sold. Choose whether you have received payment and how it was paid.

Register card sales

Payments by bank card count as cash sales (sales where the customer pays on the spot with cash or a payment card). If your business has sales of more than NOK 50,000 a year, you must have a certified point-of-sale (POS) system.

To record card sales from a POS system, use the daily report (Z report). Record the whole day's takings as one voucher in your accounts. A reconciliation of the card terminal must also be attached.

Register cash sales

Payments in cash count as cash sales (sales where the customer pays on the spot with cash or a payment card). If your business has sales of more than NOK 50,000 a year, you must have a certified point-of-sale (POS) system.

To record cash sales from a POS system, use the daily report (Z report). Record the whole day's takings as one voucher in your accounts.

If your turnover is below NOK 50,000, each sale must be written on a pre-numbered sales voucher (a receipt book) or on a cash invoice. This ensures you have valid sales documentation. When you have sold something, attach this documentation to the sale as a voucher in your accounts.

Recording online store sales

Goods sold online do not count as cash sales, because the customer does not receive the goods at the same time as they order them. This means the valid sales documentation is an invoice. Even if the customer pays straight away by card or Vipps, they will still receive an order confirmation and an invoice as sales documentation.

If you use an online store platform such as Shopify, you can connect it to Conta. Sales and orders from your online store will then be recorded in your accounts automatically.

If you sell online without an online store platform, you need to record each sale in your accounts. Every sale must be linked to the customer's account in your accounts receivable, so you can keep track of whether the customer owes you money.

Please note! An order confirmation is not valid sales documentation. You must be able to document your business's sales with an invoice or a receipt.

Recording sales through Vipps and iZettle

When you record income, you must have valid sales documentation. Vipps and iZettle do not meet these requirements, so you need to create a cash invoice to get valid sales documentation. This means income of this type has to be recorded in a different way.
