Correcting a deposit of customer invoices

Hey daw30064,

Welcome to the QuickBooks Community! I will be delighted to assist you here. There are two options to do this. However, I always recommend speaking with your accountant to see what is the best fit for your business first. If you don't have one, I encourage you to use our Pro-Advisor services to connect with one. You can delete that deposit by following these steps:

1. Click on Lists at the top menu bar.
2. Select Chart of Accounts.
3. Choose your bank and open the deposit.
4. Press on Ctrl+D on your keyboard.
5. Click on OK.
6. Select OK when asked to delete the transaction.

This should help you remove/delete the deposit and then you can proceed to create the invoice and link a deposit to the correct customer. 

If you need to edit the deposit you can use the process that fits you best below:

To remove the payment or sales receipt:

1. Choose the Gear icon> Chart of Accounts.
2. Select View Register for the appropriate account.

5. Click the deposit in the register and click Edit to open it  Now, you should be on the Deposits screen.

To edit the payment:

To replace the payment or sales receipt in the deposit:
