That is how it is in retail..just as stupid as the education budgets being cut, it needed to get done, just the way it is..it is what it is and thats all that it is.

No! My Credit Card has not been charged, but I would bet that they used the sales number in there year end statement.


Nah...it would be WRONG to present that type of sale if it wasn't charge nor shipped.

Accrual accounting method - booked when shipped

Cash basis accounting method - booked when cash hits bank account.

In your case, neither happened, so it would be WRONG to book that as a sale.

Sales are not reported on companies financial statements until they are shipped. Doesn't matter when they were recorded by the company.
