Question

Fixing Open Invoices that were deposited via a credit card deposit

My client created an invoice for a customer.  About 3 weeks later, when the order was delivered, the client paid the invoice by credit card (Square).  The Square transactions for the day were acknowledged, and the merchant services fee was split out of the total amount of the transactions.  What was NOT completed was the open invoice for the customer was NOT marked paid, nor was it identified as a payment that had been received.

 

I have several of these types of transactions, where the invoice was not closed, but the payment was received via Square.  This happened in 2023 and 2024, and the Square app for QBO is NOT being used.

 

What would be the appropriate solution to fix this error, close the open invoices, and acknowledge that particular payment among all of the transactions for the deposit being made?

 

Thanks

Elliot

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, Elliot. To resolve the issue, let's locate the payment associated with the open invoice you’re referring to. Once you find it, link the payment to the invoice and deposit it accordingly.

 

If no transactions (such as a payment or bank deposit) have been recorded, you can manually enter them. Here’s how:

 

  1. Locate the open invoice and open it.
  2. Click the Receive Payment button to mark it as paid.
  3. Once it's paid, proceed to create a bank deposit.
  4. On the Gear icon, select Bank deposit.
  5. Choose the Bank account where the funds were deposited.
  6. Under the Add funds to this deposit field, select the customer who made the payment.
  7. In the Account field, select Accounts Receivable.
  8. Enter the payment method and the amount received.
  9. Click Save and Close to complete the process.

 

Since this is somewhat of a recurring issue, I recommend reaching out to our live support team for them to investigate this unusual behavior. Please take note of our support hours so that you are aware and properly assisted.
