Good day,

 

Why are my paid invoices still showing up in my year end accounts receivable?

Accounts Receivable

Hello there, @kds27500. I'd like to share some insights about paid invoices showing on the Accounts Receivable.

 

It's possible that the deposit linked to the invoice isn't affecting Account Receivable (A/R). Let's verify that the A/R account is selected in the Account column on the deposit transaction. I'll show you how:

 

  1. Open the Accounting menu and select Chart of Accounts.
  2. Choose the bank account where the deposit is made and hit View register.
  3. Select the deposit and hit Edit.
  4. Go to the Bank Deposit screen, scroll down to the Add funds to this deposit section, and select deposit.
  5. Choose Accounts Receivable as of the Account for this transaction.
  6.  Once done, click on Save and close

 

After updating the deposit, let's link the payment by adding it as a credit to the invoice. Here's how:

 

  1. Select the New (+) icon and go to Receive Payment.
  2. You should now see all open customer invoices and outstanding credits.
  3. Go to Outstanding Transactions, and pick the Invoice you need to mark as paid.
  4. Lastly, click on Save and close.
