You can delete the credit transaction to clear or remove it from your record, Mick. I'm here to guide you on how.
- Open your QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) company file.
- Go to the Customers tab, then select the customer's name where the credit is recorded.
- From the Transactions tab, filter the dates to All, and the Transaction Type to All or just Credit Memo.
- Select the transaction from the result.
- Once the transaction is open, click on Delete and hit OK.
From there, the credit will no longer pop up when recording a new invoice.
