Credit Note for customer

I am having a nightmare.  Trying to create a credit note for £1,000 but keep showing a balance of £0.00 saying paid.  And then I have to go in and void it.

 

I need a pdf showing a credit of £1,000 -  not paid but the item showing £1,000 and balance of £1,000

 

How do I do this please

Credit Note for customer

Hello, Pamela. I've been looking into this, and it seems like QuickBooks is automatically applying your credit note to an open invoice, which is why it's showing £0.00 instead of £1,000.

 

To get that PDF looking exactly right, we just need to hit pause on that feature. Let's head to the Gear icon located in the upper right side of your screen, then select Account and Settings. From there, let's find the Automation section in the Advanced tab by scrolling a little bit, and then toggle off the Automatically apply credits feature. 

 

Now, instead of starting from scratch, let's open that £0.00 credit note and check if it's linked to an invoice. If so, unlink it. If that doesn't work, we can go ahead and void it, then recreate a new one. With the automation off, the new credit note will stay unapplied, giving you that perfect £1,000 balance on your PDF.

 

Let me know how it goes. I'm here if you need any further help.
