Hello there,
Thanks for getting back to us. We're unable to track GST on Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable account in QBO. The system will only allow you to track taxes on the expense, checking, and income accounts.
To categorise the transaction set the GST to Out of Scope or if you wanted to apply tax on the transaction use a different account like use the same account used on the original transaction.
Stay in touch with me on how the contact goes by commenting below. I'm always right here whenever you have follow-up questions.
Thank you so much for your help.
That has resolved the issue.
Kind regards,
Nicole
Hi there,
Glad to hear that worked out. Feel free to post again in the Community if you have any questions. We'll be around to help you.
Hello there, julnjake.
Please know that QuickBooks Online currently doesn't have the option to be bold and change the color of text in a custom field. However, let me route you to a center where you can achieve your goal in an alternative way.
Beforehand, keep in mind that QuickBooks allows you to modify the font size and color of the highlights in column headings. This allows you to personalize the style of the forms. If you want to complete this process, follow the steps listed below.
On the other hand, I recommend visiting our Apps center so you're able to see hundreds of apps that you can integrate into QuickBooks. This way, it'll help you make a text in the custom field be made bold and the color changed.
In case you need steps on how you can view different statuses of sales transactions like open and closed invoices, you can read this article: View sales transactions in QuickBooks Online.
If you have any further questions or need assistance with managing your sales transactions in QuickBooks, please don't hesitate to let me know. It would be my pleasure to help you some more, julnjake. Keep safe and have a good one.
When I use to create invoices and request them to be sent I had the option to have them emailed or QBO to physically mail the invoice. I am not finding how to have them physically mailed any more? Does QBO no longer do that? Also how do I sort to find the invoices that have NOT been sent?
A warm welcome to the Community space, @cbennett3.
Physically mailing invoices is unavailable in QuickBooks Online. Let me share other ways to help you send them to your customers.
You have various options for sharing the invoice. Instead of mailing it physically, you can send it conveniently via email by choosing to Save and send. I'm adding the functions of other choices below:
Moreover, you can follow the steps below to sort your invoice list and find those that have not been sent:
Here's an article for more details about statuses that you might see: Create invoices in QuickBooks Online.

I have a recurring transaction that I want to invoice today. I do not want to change the template, but I would like the dates of the next recurring invoice to advance. Is this possible???
I can help you with that, @Big Dog 100.
QuickBooks Online (QBO) provides the option to create and customize recurring transactions such as invoices. Since you already have an existing template that you wish to use for immediate invoicing, you can just easily make use of this manually without modifying the date to set it in advance.
Here's how:

Hi,
We have had a customer pay an invoice twice.
I have left the second payment uncategorised.
I've just done another invoice for their most recent sale and wish to apply the uncategorised payment however, the invoice is dated today, 29th April, and the payment was back on 8th March.
QB won't seem to allow me to apply the payment to the invoice via the Bank Transactions screen.
Alternatively, I can apply the payment via the Invoice - Receive payment screen however I then can't find this payment in my banking.
Any help / suggestions would be appreciated.
Hi TH1833,
Thanks for posting in the Community!
You can categorize the duplicate payment as a bank deposit and use the Accounts Receivable. Then, link the payment to the invoice by manually receiving payment against the invoice. Here's how:
Then, let's go to the invoice you've created and then click on Receive Payment. Under Credits select the Deposit to apply the payment. Here's how:

How to add a card charge options to the invoice
Hi Masood,
Are you referring to adding credit card fees to the invoice? At the moment we're unable to automatically add credit card fees to an invoice. The option we can do at the moment is create a service item, then manually add it to your invoice. You can also consider a third-party app and integrate it with your QuickBooks.
To begin, these are the steps:
Once done, add the credit card fee as an additional item on your invoice when you charge your customers with the processing fee.
Let me know if you have additional questions. I am here to help you.
Hi,
I was wondering why the debit and credit card option won't work when my customers go to pay my invoices. I have tested it myself, by sending myself an invoice and it also provides me with an error.
The pay pal option works but not the debit/credit card. Do I have to set something else up? I would like to get it sorted as it has happened to multiple customers, so it's inconvenient and looks unprofessional.
It just says, "payment not successful, try again or contact your seller"
If you can assist that would be appreciated.

Hi,
I wanted to repeat the header with the logo and customer details in the invoice which runs over multiple pages. Can I do that? If I can, how am I able to do that.
Hello, @sbajimaya. I've got a workaround for you to repeat the header with a logo and add customer details to your invoice.
Repeating header with logo and customer details to your invoice in multiple pages is currently unavailable in QuickBooks Online (QBO). As a workaround, you may consider downloading your invoices. Then, manually add the header, logo, and customer details to your spreadsheet according to your preferred setup.
Additionally, you can check this article for complete guidance on how you can record sales transactions efficiently in QuickBooks: Record invoice payments in QuickBooks Online.
Please let us know if you have further questions or concerns with your invoices or any other QBO products. We're always here to help. Have a good one.
I am wanting to have 3 different invoices styles as we operate under 3 different business names. The way the forms are working means that the business details on each template are being copied across to the new templates that I create. How do I create templates that show different business names and contact details?
The ABN and bank account details are the same but I need the other parts of forms to look different.
