How do I cancel payment that was made

Hi richtran04, Allow me to assist you with canceling a payment in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

 

Before we get started, could you please specify which payment you would like to cancel? Providing additional details will help us offer a more accurate solution to address your concern.

 

If you're referring to cancel a payment related to a sale, you can void it on the All Sales page. Here's how:

  1. Go to Sales and select All Sales.
  2. Find and select the invoice you want to void.
  3. Click View/edit and click Void.

 

If you're referring to cancel a bill payment or a scheduled bill payment for your vendor, you can cancel it on the Bills page.  Here's how:

  1. Go to Expenses and select Bills.
  2. Select Show Bill Pay payments.
  3. Choose the scheduled bill payment from the list, then select View details.
  4. Select Cancel this payment.

How do I cancel payment that was made

Hello there, Varona. Was this a payment you sent to your vendor using QuickBooks Bill Pay?

 

If so, please note that cancelling the payment may still be possible depending on its current status. To check, you can navigate to Expenses > Bill Payments, locate the $200.00 transaction, and select View Details.

 

If it’s an ACH or electronic payment and the status is Scheduled or Processing, you can click Cancel this payment immediately. Just be sure to do this before the processing window closes, which is set before 5 PM PT on the day it is set to be credited to the vendor. Once fully processed, it cannot be cancelled.

 

However, if your payment is processed using a paper check and the status already says Shipped, you won't see a Cancel button. Instead, you'll need to request a Void. Please note that voiding a check in the mail can take up to 7 days to process.

 

You can refer to this article for detailed steps and additional information regarding this process: Cancel or void a scheduled bill payment.

 

Once the cancellation is finalised, you can always go back into QuickBooks Bill Pay to schedule a new payment for the correct amount.

 

Let me know how it goes.
