payments

The insurance company overpaid customer ABC's account and I recorded the transaction as an overpayment on this customer. This reflects an overage on the account. Insurance is now taking back the overpayment of customer ABC while making a payment to another customer, EFG. Quickbooks matched the invoices of payment being made for customer EFG but created an expense for customer ABC regarding the money being taken back. However, customer ABC still shows an overage in his account. How do I get his account to reflect zero because the money was taken back out of EFG 's payment?

Hello there,

 

Thank you for posting here in the Community. I'm here to help you handle overage on the customer's account in QuickBooks Online.

 

Since Customer ABC shows an overage on his account, you can affect the Accounts Receivable when entering an expense. This way, you'll be able to receive payment to link the expense/check and the available credit.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Create an expense or check.
  2. Use the Accounts Receivable account and add the customer name.
  3. Hit Save and close1.JPG
  4. Access the Receive Payment section.
  5. Select the customer.
  6. Below Outstanding Transactions, put a checkmark on the check and the credit to clear the balance. 
  7. Hit Save and close.

 

Also, journal entries let you move money between accounts and force your books to balance in specific ways. I've attached a link you can use for a better understanding of debits and credits in QuickBooks: Create journal entries in QuickBooks Online.
