Will this action delete the bill or change the payment date?

HI wbrooks, deleting the payment of a bill will not delete the bill or change the payment date. After deleting the payment, the bill will still be there, but now back in an unpaid state. Make sure you are clicking on the Payment link as Chris said above in step 4 to ensure you are deleting the payment. Hope this helps!

The buttons you mentioned didn't quite match my online pages. I tried to give it a future date but it still shows it as received. I'm sure I'm slowly jacking things up. Can you help with this?
Thanks

Hi there again, Armor07,
I appreciate you getting back to the Intuit Community and validating the result.
To further isolate the issue, I recommend accessing your account in a Private browsing window first to verify if this is caused by the system or your browser.
Here are the keyboard shortcuts that will help you accomplish this in all supported browsers:
- Google Chrome: press Ctrl + Shift + N
- Mozilla Firefox: press Ctrl + Shift + P
- Internet Explorer: press Ctrl + Shift + P
- Safari: press Command + Shift +N
Once able to open a private browser, kindly repeat the steps I've provided above. If it works, then your main browser may have too much historical data from previously visited websites which slows down internal processes and causes this kind of behavior.
To ensure this doesn't happen again, it's a good idea to clear the cache of the browser you're using.
However, if the issue persists, please send me a screenshot for me to further check it here in my end.
Please let me know how it works. I'm always here to help. Have a great day!

What happens if this has been reconciled? How do I delete the payment without it affecting the reconciliation?

Hi Clarify,
In this case I would recommend deleting the payment, then reconciling the same period again by making the ending date the same as the Last statement ending date.

Thanks for joining us here in the Community, @Hippiesquaw.
I'd like to ensure that you'll get pointed in the right direction to get assistance with cancelling the subscription that you've subscribed to.
To cancel the karaoke face subscription that you've subscribed to, you'll need to reach out to their Customer Service Support Team. This team will assist discuss this matter further and provide you the cancellation process.
Uninstalling the app will not automatically stop your subscription. You may refer to some instructions that can be found online on how you can unsubscribe to a subscription on your device.
This should get you moving today.
Don't hesitate to reach back out to me should you have any other concerns with QuickBooks. I'm always here to lend a helping hand. Have a good one!

I'll take it as you're referring to the steps provided by IntuitChris, mgonsalves.
There's another way on how you can reverse an invoice payment. I'll show you how:
- Click Sales in the left panel, select Customers.
- Select the name of your customer.
- In the Transaction List tab, click the paid invoice.
- Click the 1 payment made link.
- Click the date.
- In the Receive Payment page, click More.
- Click Delete.
- Click Yes to confirm the action.
I've also added screenshots as your visual guide:
However, if you're referring to the steps inside the link provided by JessH, you can do a basic troubleshooting step. In your phone, go to Settings, and then click Reset App Data.
I'm always around if you still need my help.

How does reversing a payment for invoice affect the reconciled month?

Thanks for posting to the Community, @ybw2020.
Reversing an invoice payment will cause the account out of balance. Please make sure that you posted a reversal for the transaction. It will cancel the effect of the original transaction and ensures your accounts are accurate.
In QuickBooks Online, instead of removing the transaction, you can record a reversing entry to void a transaction in another period. You can restore the transaction without any problems since it's still on record.
First, you can void the transaction using a journal entry.
- Open the transaction you want to void.
- Select More, then select Transaction journal from the pop-up menu.
- Keep selecting the Print (printer) icon until you get to the Print page.
- Select Print. This will serve as your reference.
- Select + New.
- Select Journal Entry.
- In the Journal date field, enter the date you want to show the transaction as reversed.
- Enter the accounts in reverse based on the printed transaction journal. Example: If the transaction you want to void is a bill payment, debit the bank account then credit accounts payable.
- Select Save, then close the window. The transaction is now voided.
For the second step, clear the transaction on the register. You can refer to this article: Void a transaction in another period.
You can also consult your accountant for help.
Please feel free to leave a comment if you need further assistance. I'll be around to help. Have a good one!

Once you reverse or void a paid invoice, how do I apply the payment to the correct invoice?

Hi Ruth24,
If you've voided a paid invoice, then there will be an unapplied Payment transaction in that customer's list of transactions. If you want to apply that payment to an invoice, you can click on that Payment in the transaction list, and it will show you any outstanding transactions that the payment could be applied to - all you need to do is tick the invoice that you want to apply the payment to and then click Save and Close.
Feel free to reply in this thread if you have any other questions!

What if payment has been already deposited? I'm trying to delete it because payment was applied to the wrong invoice.

Good day, checkpnt.
We can apply the payment to the correct invoice.
The first one I can suggest to edit the payment transaction you recorded. Go to the customer's profile, then find and open the payment transaction. From there, unlink it to the incorrect invoice by removing the checkmark. Then, link it to the correct one by checking it. Once done, let's click on Save and close.
Another way is to create a journal entry. You can follow the steps in this article for your reference: How to fix a payment applied to the wrong invoice.

The sales tab can only be found in QuickBooks Online, rob2359.
If you're trying to access the customer's list and sales transactions, you can go to the Customer's menu on the upper part. You'll want to click the Customer menu so you'll see several options that you can choose from. I've added a screenshot for your guide:
Please check this article if you want to record your daily sales summary: Create Sales Receipts.
For future reference, you can add and match transactions you downloaded:Add And Match Bank Feed Transactions in QuickBooks Desktop.
Keep me posted if you have further questions. I'll be sure to get back.
