Set Up Revenue Accounts

Introduction

Revenue accounts are used to categorize different types of income in our billing system. They play a role in applying tax rates to products. Each billing plan is associated with a revenue account, and when you set a tax rate for a specific revenue account, it applies to all invoiced products linked to that billing plan. This allows us to have different tax rates for various types of products or services, providing flexibility in our tax structure.

Before reading this article, we recommend taking a look at our help article on Invoicing to familiarize yourself with how invoicing works in OfficeRnD, and how Accounts tie to that.

By default, there are five types of accounts: Booking Fees, Deposits, Membership Fees, One-off fees, and Order Fees. You can also define custom account types. Keep in mind the following:

  • When a line is manually added to an invoice, it will appear under the One-off fees account by default.
  • By default, all amounts listed in a Deposit field (available when creating and modifying billing plans, memberships, contracts, and assignable resources) go to the Deposits account and are marked as refundable.

Adding a New Account

To create a new account, navigate to Settings/Billing Settings/Revenue Accounts and click on the Add Account button in the top right corner of the screen.

  • Default for - this field will appear only for default accounts *. In the field, you'll be able to see the item for which the account is created (bookings, fees, etc.)

Default accounts cannot be deleted. They can be modified, but we don't recommend it as it may cause mismatches between data. In particular, the Deposits and One-off fees accounts are best kept as they are, even if you never use them.

Editing an Account

To modify an account from the Accounts section, click on the cogwheel next to it and choose Edit.
