I have a single-member law firm. My invoices bill for legal services and for client expenses. I've noticed that when I "receive payment" on an invoice for less than the entire amount of the invoice, it seems that part of the payment goes to Income and part of the payment goes to pay a portion of the client expense.
How does QBO decide how much of the expense is "paid"?
Thanks.
Hi there, @KJIsaacson.
Let me answer your queries in QuickBooks Online (QBO).
Once you record partial payments, QuickBooks will apply the partial payment on the first and to the next line item until it's fully paid. This is how the program works and the order is unchangeable.
For more details, you can check out this article: Record invoice payments in QBO.
If you need to see the remaining balance of your customer, you can run the Customer Balance Summary report. Here's how:
