How do you remove a bill - and corresponding bill payment - from a prior period ? Also taking into account hst

Hi there,

Sometimes it's necessary to remove a bill and the corresponding payment. I'll be happy to give you hand with this so you can get back to doing what you love.

QuickBoosks is a user-friendly program which makes it simple to navigate.  You can delete a bill from the Bill window, to enable you to review the details of the transaction. There are multiple ways to view the bill in the Bill window — from the Expense Transactions list, the Accounts Payable register, or from a report. To delete a bill, follow the steps below:

1. Open the invoice to delete using one of these methods:
   • From the left menu, select Expenses, and select the appropriate bill from the Expense Transactions list.
   • In the Accounts Payable register in the Chart of Accounts, locate and select the bill.
   • Select the bill from within a report.
2. In the Bill window, select More at the bottom of the screen, and select Delete from the pop-up menu.
3. When prompted, select Yes to confirm that you want to delete the bill.

Once you've completed the steps above, the bill is deleted.

You can also access the bill from the Expenses page and delete it without opening the bill:

1. Go to Expenses.
2. On the Expenses tab, locate the invoice to delete.
3. In the Action column, select Delete from the drop-down menu.

I created a bill and paid it with bill payment.  My problem is that by creating the bill I overstated the vendor expense.  What I really intended was to create a prepayment credit for the vendor based on a future large charge.  Can I delete the bill payment and then delete the corresponding bill ?  Then I would need to use the same date and enter it how so it shows up as a prepayment credit in the vendor account?
