Old vendor invoices

There are several ways to clear the unpaid invoices in QuickBooks Desktop, Frieaza.

 

The clearing process requires guidance from an accounting professional since it involves data from February.

If those bills are accidentally entered or duplicated, we can delete them in QuickBooks Desktop. Just remember that this action isn't always advisable for old or reconciled transactions because it will trigger discrepancies in the bank balance. Here's how:

 

  1. Click the Lists menu, then Chart of Accounts.
  2. Double-click the appropriate Accounts Payable account to open its register.
  3. In the Accounts Payable register, select the specific bill or bill payment check.
  4. Select the Edit menu, then Void/Delete Bill/Bill Pmt-Check.
  5. Click Record, then Yes to save the changes.

 

If those bills are already paid that's why the vendor told them that they don't owe them anything, and we can pay the bills to close it. Just follow the steps and details in this article: Pay bills in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

If you have small balances that are the result of an error, an overpayment, or an underpayment, we recommend two ways to remove the amounts. However, make sure to consult your accounting professional before trying any of these options. You can check out this article for the steps and details: Write off customer and vendor balances.

 

I'm also appending these articles to help you after doing the corrections from previously reconciled periods:

 

 

That's it! Please let me know how it goes or if I can be of additional help. I'd be glad to answer should you have any follow-up questions. Take care always.
