How do I reverse a closed sales order/invoice/payment?

We shipped an order to a customer, so we completed our Sales Order, Invoice and Payment. We need to reverse the entire process as the customer never updated his address and the item was returned to us. We are using Quickbooks Desktop Accountant 2021. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How do I reverse a closed sales order/invoice/payment?

Thanks for giving me the details of your concern about closed sales orders, invoices, and payments in QuickBooks Desktop Accountant 2021. I can definitely assist you in reversing them.
 
You can reopen this closed Sales Order in your QuickBooks Desktop, and this process will unlink from the invoice that is currently associated with it. Then, you'll need to delete the existing invoice and create a new one based on the reopened Sales Order.
 
Please note that any previous payments made on the original invoice will remain recorded in your account. You can apply for these payments as credits towards your future transactions. You can refer to the steps below together with some screenshots for better reference:

 

 

Proceed to recreate the invoice for a Sales Order:

 

1. Go to the Sales Orders main tab, and select the Create Invoice button.

2. On the prompt that appears, choose:

 

  • Tick Create invoice for all the sales order(s) to add all items from the sales order to the invoice.
  • Click Create invoice for selected items if you want to put only some items on the invoice.

 

3. Make the necessary changes in the Invoice.

4. Pick Save & Close.
