Customer credits

Is there a way to undo customer credits? I have a customer who pays one year in advance. She just paid again and I noticed she had a credit of $1785. Last year even though she paid and her account in the customer list was correct, in the invoice portion each quarter showed an open balance. I applied the credit of $1785. To make it more complicated she had only a partial credit for 2nd quarter of 2019. Now in her customer account it shows she has a credit of -$1410.

 

If you have an answer for this I would greatly appreciate the advice.

Thank you!

Welcome to the Community space, @KHS56.

 

I'm here to sort things out for you. A possible reason that there's a negative credit is because of the payment received and the additional credit applied to the invoice. 

 

We can unlink the credit from the invoice. I'll show you how:

  1. Open your QuickBooks, then press Ctrl + H to display the transaction history.
  2. Double-click the invoice and choose Apply Credits.
  3. On the Previously Applied Credits window, uncheck the selection for credit then select Done.
  4. After, on the invoice page, click Save and Close.

Also, make sure not to edit or delete any payment amount that may cause your book to be unbalanced.

I'm always here in the Community if you need help. Have a pleasant day.
