Credit Memo's

Thanks for visiting the QuickBooks Community. Allow me to help apply your credit memos, @Angie3124.

The solution that you think is correct, you can create an invoice with the total amount of the credit memos. You can turn on the credit memo auto-apply feature, so you don't have to click every single transaction. This feature will automatically apply credit memos to customers' balances or open invoices. Let me guide you on how.

1. Go to the Gear icon.
2. Click Account and Settings then tap the Advanced tab.
3. Select Edit ✎ in the Automation section.
4. Click Automatically apply credits.
5. Hit Save, then Done.
   

Once done, you can proceed in applying it to the invoice. Follow the steps below on how:

1. Click Sales from the left pane.
2. Select Customers and click the customer’s name.
3. Locate the invoice you want to apply the credit to and click Receive Payment.
4. Enter the necessary information on the Receive Payment window.
5. In the Outstanding Transactions section, make sure that the correct invoice is selected.
6. Click Save and close.

The steps above will help you apply the credit to your customer’s open invoices. For your reference, you may check out this article: Apply a credit memo, credit, or refund to a customer.

You can also pull up the Customer Balance Detail report. This report, lets you know what payments and invoices make up each customer's current outstanding balance. Just go to the Reports menu Under who owes you choose Customer Balance Detail report.

Keep me updated on how it goes. I'll be around to help if there's anything else you need with applying for credits. Wishing you well!

But this solutions sets ALL customers up to automatically apply CM.  I don't want to do that. I just want this ONE customer set up that way.  Some of the other customer's CM have to be applied to specific invoices and this setting will take that ability away.

Welcome back to this thread, Angie3124.

Any changes made in the Advanced settings like turning on the Automatically apply credits option will apply to all of your customers.
