Hi there, @ppizarcoff-gmail.
Thank you for posting here in the Community. I'm here to help you recover the data so you don't need to enter them again.
The system automatically creates an adjusting transaction for a customer with a non-zero balance. When you make it inactive, the status of the invoice will change to Paid (see sample screenshot below).
Since transactions aren't deleted, you can still recover the data. First, you'll need to find the customer profile and make it active.
Here's how:
Once done, the next thing to do is remove transactions created by QuickBooks Online. Please follow these steps:
After following the steps above. your outstanding invoices should reflect on your account.
I've also attached an article you can use to learn more about handling customers, like how to add a sub-customer, as well as some steps to merge them in QuickBooks: Add and manage customers in QuickBooks Online.
Fill me in if you have additional questions about recovering sales transactions in QBO. I'm always here to help. Take care always.

Dear AlcaeusF,
Thank you so very much. I thought there would have to be a way to reverse, but it wasn't obvious to me. Thank you once again....it is greatly appreciated.

I read your help suggestion. When this happens to a customer and Quickbooks marks them "paid," does this show up as income on my account, or just clears their balance?
Thanks!
Welcome to the Community, MarkP213!
There's no income recorded for a customer made inactive with an outstanding invoice. QuickBooks Online creates the adjusting entry to clear the open balance.
You can run a Invoice List or Transaction List by Customer to see how the transaction is reported in QuickBooks Online. Here's how:
The invoice is offset by the adjusting entry created by QuickBooks Online and will show 0 payment/income.
