Aloha Gift Card as a Sales instead of a Revenue Item

[LDigital]

I have a strange request from a customer to Make a sales of a Aloha gift card show up in the sales I know by default its a revenue item, anyone do this before or know how to change it?

I realize every state is different but they should be warned that declaring GC's as sales when they occur may lead to confusion when they are subject to a sales tax audit. I assume the customer may or may not back GC sales out of net sales (for tax purposes) but an auditor would then need to know exactly when the practice started plus auditors (in my experience) don't take kindly to businesses that remove items from net sales despite their legitimacy. It's an unusual request and should be thought out. GC's are not sales when they are sold; they are a liability.

Create a new item
Do not mark it as revenue and assign it a sales category and no tax.
You then will have it show up as sales.
The issue you will have is double sales when they return and use the gift card.
You have sale for the gift card, sale for the food and only one payment. That will not add up.
