I transferred my data to another company. Then the invoice will be charged to Advances to Employees and Officers not to the Accounts Receivable. Then when I receive payment, then the Advances will be debited again instead of the AR.
Hi there, Kibonbon.
Welcome back to the QuickBooks Community. I'll share information on how data works in QuickBooks Online and ensure that your transaction categorizes properly.
For most transactions in QuickBooks Online, the entries of debits and credits are handled by QBO. However, the way debits and credits work depend on how the data is being entered. That said, QuickBooks rely on how the transaction being moved to another company or in the system. With this, it might be the reason why the entry is charged to Advances to Employees and Officers, not in Accounts Receivable.
To sort this, I recommend going to the Chart of Accounts. From there, you'll be routed to the Account Register section to see all entries associated with the specific account. Then, you'll have to edit or update the transaction to ensure that this is properly record.
Here's how:
You can also create a journal entry. This way, you're able to transfer the amount of payment from one account to another. While doing this, I'd recommend consulting an accountant for guidance so your account stays accurate.

Advances to Officers and Employers is also a type of receivable account.
Before I transferred my data when I make an invoice it is charge to AR perfectly. Making it a default AR.
But now when I checked even before the past invoices dated 2018, it is charged to Advances to Officers and Employers, like the default AR is changed. Please tell me the steps to change it like before.
This is when I make an invoice, it is charged to Advances not to AR.
Then this is when I receive a payment. It is charge again to Advances.
