To support multiple bookkeeping systems and make bookkeeping simpler, we offer tailor-made bookkeeping reports in the analytics section: the sales journal entries report and the payment journal entries report. These reports are structured to easily import your financial data from Clinicminds into your bookkeeping system.

We recommend reviewing this support page and the reports together with your bookkeeper. When you take the time set up certain settings in Clinicminds (like general ledger account numbers and tax codes), your financial data can be imported into your bookkeeping system easily and fast in the future.

Report descriptions

Sales journal entries

The sales journal entries report (πŸ‡³πŸ‡± verkoopboekingen) contains all invoice lines from your invoices. These are the treatments, products, and packages that you sold by creating invoices in Clinicminds. Invoice lines from credit invoices are also included. These entries should be imported into your bookkeeping system as revenue (πŸ‡³πŸ‡± omzet).

For each treatment, product, and package in your account, you can set up a general ledger account number (πŸ‡³πŸ‡± grootboekrekening). For each entry (row) in the report, the account number of the corresponding treatment/product/package is displayed. This is useful to automatically link sales journal entries to the right general ledger account in your bookkeeping. (For example, 8010 for product sales, 8020 for injectables treatments, and 8030 for other treatments.)

Taxes like VAT (πŸ‡³πŸ‡± belastingen zoals BTW) can be displayed in two ways:
​
A) By default, the tax amount for each entry is displayed in a separate column in the row of each entry. Additionally, a column with the tax code is displayed. You can set up tax codes for all tax rates in your account.
​
B) Alternatively, the tax amounts can be displayed as separate entries (rows) in the reports. In this situation, you can set up a general ledger account number (πŸ‡³πŸ‡± grootboekrekening) for each tax rate in your account, which will be displayed with each entry.

The tax code and general ledger account number are useful to automatically link tax amounts to the right account in your bookkeeping.
​

Payment journal entries

The payment journal entries report (πŸ‡³πŸ‡± betalingsboekingen) contains all payments from your invoices. These are the amounts paid using payment methods that you specified when creating invoices in Clinicminds. Payments from credit invoices are also included. These entries should be imported into your bookkeeping system as entries on your liquid assets (πŸ‡³πŸ‡± liquide middelen).

For each payment method in your account, you can set up a general ledger account number (πŸ‡³πŸ‡± grootboekrekening). For each entry (row) in the report, the account number of the corresponding payment method is displayed. This is useful to automatically link payment journal entries to the right general ledger account in your bookkeeping. (For example, 1000 for cash, 1100 for bank transfers, etc.)

Payments that occur afterwards, like bank transfers, can optionally be displayed with accounts receivable entries (πŸ‡³πŸ‡± debiteuren). When enabled, an accounts receivable entry is displayed for such payments on the invoice date. On the payment date (registered in Clinicminds), a negative accounts receivable entry is displayed, together with the entry corresponding to the chosen payment method.

Report examples

To get an idea of how the data is structured in the bookkeeping reports, we provide an example containing the journal entries for one invoice.

The highlighted columns are most relevant to easily link entries from the reports in your bookkeeping. The values can be set up in Clinicminds (like general ledger account numbers and tax codes). Consult with your bookkeeper to find out which values should be set up, so your data from Clinicminds can easily be imported into your bookkeeping system.

Example invoice: 19010001 (1 January 2019):

Invoice lines: Product A (€ 25 incl. 20% high VAT);
Treatment X (€ 750 incl. 10% low VAT)

Payment methods: Cash (€ 250); Bank transfer (€ 525, received 5 January 2019)
