Duplicate invoices

As I have said before, I invoice and receive payments on an industry specific site and then download to QBO every morning.  When I look at my Invoices and Received Payments report, there are multiple invoices for each customer on the chosen date.  These are exact duplicates.  If I modify one of them, the modification does not apply to another.  On average there are 2 per customer.  Can anyone explain what is happening, how I fix it, and how I avoid it in the future?  I have included a portion of the report to give you an idea of what I mean.  Thank you.

Thank you for the taking time to reach out to us, sophie25.

 

I appreciate you for providing screenshot and details of your concern. Let's get this straightened out for you. 

 

Since you're using a third party application to download invoices and receive payments to QuickBooks Online (QBO), we recommend contacting them so they can help you look for ways on preventing these duplicates to happen in the future.

 

For now, you can manually delete those duplicate invoices in QBO. I'd be happy to walk you through the steps on how to delete a duplicate invoice.

 

Here's  how:

  1. Find and open the duplicate invoice.
  2. Click More at the bottom.
  3. Select Delete.
  4. Click Yes.

You can also check out this article to learn more about deleting invoices and other transactions: How to void or delete an invoice or other transactions.
 

If you have any other concerns, don't hesitate to let me know. I'm always here to help.

If payments show up in QBO for same amount, same date and same reconciles month, but only is marked with R, others show c and no mark.

Hey there, Dashrudy. I can share some information about what C and R means.
 

A cleared (C) transaction is one that you know has hit your bank/credit card, but hasn't been reconciled.
 

Transactions can be marked with a cleared status in a few ways:

  • Starting a reconciliation, but not finishing.
  • Manually marking one as C in the register.
  • Importing a transaction through our Bank Feeds feature. All transactions imported with online banking are automatically flagged as cleared since the transactions come straight from your bank.

 

Ones that are marked as reconciled (R) have already been through a reconciliation process.
 

A transaction can be set to a reconciled status in two ways:

  • Performing a reconciliation.
  • Manually marking it as R in your register.

 
You'll be able to find more information about reconciling accounts in the following article: Reconcile an account in QuickBooks Online
 

Please feel welcome to post a reply if there's any questions. Have an awesome day!

Hi,

I have imported the same invoices twice in to my quickbooks desktop and they have been paid. How do I fix this now? 

I do not want issue a credit for every single invoice that was a duplicate?

Is there any other way to do this.

Please, advise.

Thanks.

You can delete the duplicates, sk33.

 

You don't need to create customer credit for the duplicate invoices.

 

Duplicate transactions like Invoices can be Deleted with the steps below:

In QuickBooks Desktop, you can remove duplicate transactions right from your bank feed.  How you delete transactions depends on the mode you're using. Learn more about switching between bank modes.

Remove duplicate transactions in Register mode

In Register mode, you see your register on the top part of the screen. Your downloaded transactions are at the bottom.

If you know that QuickBooks is correct and want to delete the transactions that don't match, match the appropriate transactions anyway. Then delete the entire statement.

  1. Go to the Banking menu.
  2. Select Bank Feeds and then Bank Feeds Center.
  3. Find and select the statement from the Items Received From Financial Institution sectionThen select View.
  4. Match the appropriate transactions. Select Done to match them.
  5. Select Yes in the Not Finished Matching screen. You'll return to the Online Banking Center.
  6. Find and select the same statement from the Items Received From Financial Institution section. Then select Delete.

Deleting the statement prevents unwanted transactions from appearing the next time you download a statement. If you don't delete the matched statement, the transactions that weren't matched keep appearing.

 

Feel free to mention me if there's anything else that you need help with. Take care!
