When I run our AR Aging report a payment is listed among the invoices. See attachment. $7030.47 was paid via QB as a deposit. The invoice is $14,060.94 total, so w/ a $7030.47 deposit paid, it therefore should show as $7030.47 open. We happened to change our bank account for QB deposits that day so I thought it may be linked to that. So I went & choose "undo" to the matching of the bank feed transaction & redid it but nothing changed. This payment was 1 of 3 w/in QB deposit transaction but the other 2 payments aren't showing on the AR report. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thank you.
I can guide you in resolving this issue, LWAY1.
It could be that the deposits are not affecting your accounts receivable account that's why they're not showing on your A/R Aging Detail report. To fix this, you'll have to locate and edit the deposits. Then, link them to your open invoices to ensure that your records are accurate and error-free.
Here's how to edit the deposit:
Once the deposit entry is updated, it's time to apply it as an invoice payment. I'll show you how:

Thank you for the reply. But when I go to the add funds section it is blank - the top portion labeled quickbooks payments is where all the deposit info is showing. So I am unable to follow your directions. Also, if I go to receive pmt for this customer the correct open balance is showing for that invoice. So the payment has posted at least somewhat properly if the correct open balance is showing right? Do you have any other recommendations? Thanks!

Looks like this issue has stumped the callback crew as well. The first person spent lots of time & even brought in 2 other people to assist. But in the end they could only suggest deleting & recreating the payment. I had to leave the call & thought I could do that on my own. But I changed my mind when I went to do it. Since the one "problem child" payment was included with 2 other QB deposits that day I felt wrong about deleting the entire transaction. So I tried another phone call. She agreed w/ me that deleting the deposit would be a bad idea. Sooooo....my question remains. Why would a payment transaction be showing up on my AR Aging Report? It should show like all the others - as an invoice w/ a remaining balance due.
Hey there, @LWAY1.
I appreciate the additional details that you've shared. Let me provide the reason behind the negative amount that's showing up on the A/R aging report.
In QuickBooks Online, the negative balances mean the customer has overpaid compared to what you have billed them. In this case, it would be unusual to have open invoices. Thus, there are likely open/unapplied payments due to the overpayment state the customer is in.
You don't need to delete those deposits but instead, you can generate an invoice and apply the payment afterward. This way, all of the negative amounts from your deposits will be removed from the A/R Aging report.
Once you're done creating the invoice, you can now link it to the payment.
To do that:

No, the customer has not overpaid us. They have paid half of their bill & still owe us the other half. There must just be a strange glitch in QBO that's causing the AR report to list the payment transaction rather than the invoice transaction. Hopefully when the customer pays the remainder this issue will go away.
I enter payment in Quick books . My contract is Senior whole health. I enter payment half amount is credited agains invoices and half amount not adjusted against Invoices and my aging summary of 90 days shows credit balance.

I’m here to help and provide information to you, Ilesh.
There are many different reasons why you could be left with a credit balance in Account Receivable. Whether due to an error in your original invoice, overpayments, or unapplied payments.
You can review your transactions. Make sure the payment you entered is applied to the invoice properly. Check out the date and the status of the invoice. It should be marked as Paid in the All Sales tab. I’ll show you how:

I have the same issue going on right now. I have chatted with QB and gotten no resolve. The invoice is marked as "paid" on the sales list you suggested looking at. The payment shows on my aging report as a negative. This is obviously an issue and needs to get a resolution.
Hello there, @Curtis15.
It's nice to see you here in the Community. I'm here to share some information about the negative amount showing up on the A/R aging report.
In QuickBooks Online, the negative balance shows when the payment date is before the Invoices/Bill. Also, when the Invoice/Bill is not within the date range of your aging report.
For example, your payment date is from September, while your bill is from October. When you open an aging report from September, it will show a negative balance since there's no bill yet for that month.
On the other hand, if you open a report for September and October, it will show zero.

This is happening to me too. It's so frustrating. I RARELY get anyone at QB that has any clue how to use QB let alone how to help. It's a total waste of time to chat.

This happens frequently and randomly. There is no difference in how we process these payments and the ones that don't show up. It is pointless to go through 10 steps and waste more of my valuable time. This is clearly a QB issue and needs to be resolved.

Was this issue ever resolved? I have full payment, all invoices linked to proper payment and closed. The interesting issue on my payment was the amount came in $5 under paid (has happened before with no issue) - I wrote off the difference and closed the invoice. The A/R aging still shows the payment - need to resolve and don't see any resolution in long feed. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks
Thanks for following this thread, @PPP3. When the deposits are not affecting your accounts receivable account, that means that the closed invoice isn't linked to the deposit.
Let's locate and edit the deposit, then link it to your invoice to fix this issue.
Here's how:
Then, apply it as an invoice payment:
