I have a credit on a project. My accountant created a journal entry to off set this. How to I apply the journal entry to the credit in QBO.

You can apply the journal entry created as a credit to your customer's unpaid invoice, tanya31. Let me assist you in the process to ensure that your records are balanced and precise.

 

Since you're accountant already created a journal entry, the credit will now be applied to the invoice and the accounts will reflect the adjustment. To do this, follow the steps outlined below:

 

  1. Go to the + New menu.
  2. Select Receive payment.
  3. Choose a customer.
  4. Under Outstanding Transactions, choose the invoice.
  5. Under Credits, select the journal entry to apply it as a credit.
  6. Click Save and close.
