Allow me to be your guide and help you record the raincheck in QBO, elevated1.
You can record it as a credit memo so it can be used as a payment for future transactions. It's usually used if a customer has made a payment for a cancelled service, returned a product, or requested a refund.
I'd be glad to share these steps with you:
- Click the + New button and select Credit memo.
- Look for the customer's name in the drop-down list for Customer.
- Enter the credit memo details, such as the date and the amount of the refund.
- Choose Save and close.
Then, follow these steps once you're ready to use it in a future invoice:
- Go back to the + New button and select Receive payment.
- Look for the customer's name in the drop-down list for Customer.
- Scroll-down to the Outstanding Transactions section, then select the open invoice you want to apply the credit memo to.
- Select the credit memo that you created for the raincheck in the Credits section
- For the open invoice in the Payment column, enter how much of the credit you want to apply.
- Fill out the rest of the form, including the Payment date.
- Make sure the total is correct after applying the credit memo.
- When you're done, select Save and close.
