A customer's open balance is the total amount of unpaid or outstanding invoices, wandamendoza.

A data issue might have also caused the negative balance when creating an invoice. Let me share these steps on how resolve common data issues in QuickBooks: 

1. Go to the File menu, then select Utilities.
2. Select Verify Data, then select OK to close all windows.

Then, proceed to rebuilding the data. Here's how:

1. Go back to the File menu and click Utilities.
2. Select Rebuild Data, then select OK to close all windows.
3. QuickBooks will ask to make a backup before rebuilding your company file, select OK. If you don’t want to do a backup, select Cancel to continue rebuilding your company file.
   1. If you haven’t set up any backup preferences, QuickBooks will ask you to update them. Select Backup Preferences and edit as needed, then select OK.
   2. When the backup's finished, select Show in Finder to locate the backup or select OK if you’re done.
4. After the rebuild is finished, select OK.

Once done, create an invoice to check if the amount is no longer showing up negative.
