Negative priced items for invoices (Brewery example)

TheShawn — Sun, 21 Sep 2025 06:07:23 GMT

I know this has been a topic for some time - I just thought I'd add my voice and situation. I'll try to be brief:

- I operate a brewery

- we sell beer in keg format to restaurants/bars

- it is industry standard to charge a deposit on the keg(s)

- most accounts re-order for a while

- thus, there is a running tab of keg deposits that are offset by empty kegs we pick up

- in QB, you can make a negative item (i.e., the returned empty keg) and add to invoice

This is very easy to manage and because it's an "item" in QB you can track it easily, too.

Square needs this.

Hey @TheShawn,

Welcome to the Community.

I completely understand the necessity for negative-priced items in your brewery's invoicing, especially for keg deposits and returns.

Howdy - thanks for the reply! That link doesn't work, however.
