One of our Purchasers net checks us for 18 wells. Occasionally two or three of the wells that are marginal producers have a negative balance. We were entering each well separately but when we came to the ones with the negative balance we got an error. Is there a way to enter this without just putting with another well that has enough income to absorb the deficit? (DMIE)

Does this purchaser send you a net check for each of the 18 wells? Or do they combine the net of all 18 wells into one check? It seems more likely that they would only send you one check for all 18 wells. If that is the case, you can enter all 18 wells activity on the Production Receipt screen when entering the net check amount. Even if a well had more expense than revenue, as long as the overall balance is positive, you'll be able to save the Production Receipt, creating the net check total deposit in QuickBooks. Expenses that were netted from your revenue can be entered in this Production Receipt screen by selecting the expense category from the Type pull down menu.
