Bills are shown in minus amount

Dear  Team ,

 

We are facing problem in bills which shown in minus amount , please check the attached picture. normally QuickBooks is not accepting the bill with negative amounts.. by the way this bill was recorded as item category and not expense.
Moreover , these bills are still showing in the pay bill section even that we have paid it long time ago.

Its almost more than 2000 bills like this.

 

Kindly your support will be very helpful and highly appreciated.

I appreciate you for sharing a screenshot and details, @301739094241298.

 

I can help add some troubleshooting steps to keep your bills data accurate.

 

To start with, let's make sure to update QuickBooks Desktop to the latest release to get the newest features and fixes.

 

In your case, there may be possible data damage in the company file since it's happening over 2000 bills that you paid already and showing minus amounts. To fix this, I recommend running the rebuild and verify data utility tools. It can help scour through, repair, and inform you of data errors within the file.

 

Also, ensure to backup your company file and place it somewhere safe like Google Drive or virus free flash drive before using the verify and rebuild tools. It's best to secure a copy for any potential issues like data loss.

 

Once QuickBooks spots the error, it will self-resolve hurdles when initiated the rebuild process. You can also check additional solutions from this article: Fix data damage on your QuickBooks Desktop company file.

 

I know that this is quite alarming. I'm always here to get your updates and provide additional assistance when you comment below. Anytime I can help. Take care, and have a great day ahead!

Allow me to provide you some information why bills are showing in a negative amount, 301739094241298.

 

Normally, a negative amount on your vendor transactions indicates something that you've already paid to them. For negative balance in Accounts, Payables may sometimes mean that you've entered bills and checks were written against it, but the original bill amount somehow was deleted or voided. To fix this, you can follow the steps below:

  1. Go to the Reports.
  2. Select Vendors & Payables.
  3. Choose the Unpaid Bills Detail report.
  4. Scan through the report and look for negative amounts.
  5. If you see any, double click on them.
    • Once you open the bill-payment check, look at the lower half of the screen. Possibly, there will be no bill located here, no amount at all, nothing to indicate that this check was applied to a bill.
    • If so, leave this window open, here's how:
      1. Click the Vendors menu.
      2. Choose Enter Bills.
      3. Enter a bill to the vendor you just saw on the last screen. Be sure to use the same amount you saw on the check. You will need to guess as to the correct due date – better yet, try to locate the original bill so you can get the correct information off it.
      4. Click Save& Close.

 

However, if the issue persists, I suggest reaching out to our support team again so they can investigate this further. They have the tools to pull up your account in a secure environment.
