Invoicing

I have just bought QB desktop 2023 for my business. I need to create my first invoices for  customers that shows the current rent due, plus a past due balance that is not already in my newly set up QB.

Hello there, PebbleCreek1.

 

I can share some details about adding current and past due invoices in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

 

To add the current and past due, let's edit the invoice template that you're using. The steps to do this are pretty quick and easy.

 

For the current or balance due, here's how:

 

  1. In QBDT, go to the Customers menu at the top.
  2. Choose Create Invoices.
  3. In the Create Invoices window, click Formatting tab.
  4. Select Customize Layout.
  5. In the Additional Customization window, click the Footer tab.
  6. Place a checkmark on the Balance Due box.
  7. Hit OK.

 

To add the past due:

 

  1. Go back to the Formatting tab.
  2. Choose Manage Templates.
  3. Select the invoice template you want to use and select OK.
  4. From the "Company & Transaction Information" section, select Print Past Due Stamp.
  5. Select OK.

 

For more information about customizing invoice template in QBDT, consider checking out these articles:

 

 

I'm also adding this article that tackles about managing and creating invoices for further guidance: Create an invoice in QuickBooks Desktop.

JamesPaul, thank you. I must say that this has been the fastest and most complete help I have gotten since getting QB. I am not computer savvy and certainly not bookkeeping savvy. I'm having to learn this on my own. And the responses to my very first Community question have blown me away. The times I have tried the online chat or the phone chat with QB, have been a disaster-taking hours to get any solution. The last phone chat I had lasted 4 hours, and I lost past customer files in the process. That is why I'm having to ask the Community about how to add past due amounts to the current customer invoices. So, thanks to all of you for the responses of help I have gotten since yesterday's question.
