Negative lines on supplier invoice input

Help has arrived, @Mr Tangerine Man. I’ve got some information to share about managing negative transactions in QuickBooks.

In QuickBooks Online, you can only enter a negative amount on supplier transactions when there’s a positive line item. The program will prompt you with a variety of error messages when you track a negative figure alone.

Please know that having a negative total on an entry isn’t possible. The transaction amount should be 0 or greater.

Here’s a reference that provides tips, ways, and insights on how to efficiently handle your money-out events in QuickBooks: Pay expenses and bills. It helps you record bills and payments accurately.

Moreover, if you have some How do I questions in the future about managing company data, you can visit our Support page anytime. You can also bookmark our Resource Center. It has free tools and bookkeeping basics to organize your records.

Don't hold back to drop a message below if you need further assistance operating your supplier transactions. I'll be more than happy to help you again. Keep safe!

Thank you MadelynC.

However I get the out of range message on line 2 even with the positive line 1  I'm afraid.

As I say it has worked for one transaction but not another of the same type.

Thanks
