Welcome to the Community space, @lisa153.
To prevent paying taxes twice for the same payment, you can delete the sales receipt, then record a payment upon the invoice.
Before doing so, once you delete a transaction it's irreversible or permanent. This won't appear anywhere on your reports or in your accounts. You can use your Audit Log to recover some information/details, but you're unable to recover the transaction.
Here's how to delete the sales receipt:
- Select Sales in the left-hand menu
- Click Filter then select the Type: Sales Receipt, then click Apply
- Click on the Sales Receipt you wish to delete
- At the bottom of the page click on More and select Delete
- Select Yes to confirm.
