Report on customer transactions with open balances

Yes, there’s a report that displays those details, Steven. And I’d be glad to share it with you.

You can run the Invoices and Received Payments report in QuickBooks Online. It shows all your invoices, payments, credit notes, open balances, etc. Then, you'll want to export it to Excel to hide or remove the zero-balance transactions.

Here are the steps to do it:

1. Go to your Reports menu.
2. Enter "Invoices and Received Payments" in the Search field.
3. Filter the date period. You can also select the Customise button.
4. Click the Small gear icon, then tap Show More.
5. Select the Open Balance option and the other info you need.
6. Hit the Export icon and choose Export to Excel.
7. In the spreadsheet, eliminate the ones that have zero balance.

Thanks for the feedback. So there isn't a way of filtering it within Quickbooks - I can only export and then use something like Excel to remove the zero balance documents?

Hello there, @Steven_ZA. Let me join the thread and provide additional information in running the report you need. 

In QuickBooks Online (QBO), you can run the Customer Balance Detail report. It shows how much each customer owes you. And this report will only display customers with balances. 

To pull this up, here's how:

1. On your QBO account, select Reports in the left menu.
2. Go to the Reports tab, then the Standard tab.
3. Locate and select Customer Balance Detail.
4. Set the Report period and Aging method.
5. Click Run report.

For more information and guidance in running a report in QBO, I recommend checking these articles:

Hello admin, your solution displays a report with even negative balances but how can you get a report with only positive customer open balances. Thanks

Let me guide you in running a report to show your customer's open balance with positive amounts, @Muganga.

Please know that the negative balance in the Customer Balance Detail report is the default. As a workaround, we can run the Transaction List by Customer report.

Here's how:

1. On the left panel, click Reports.
2. Search for Transaction List by Customer report.
3. Click the Filter icon, then modify it. I suggest looking at the screenshots below for better understanding.
4. Click the Columns dropdown, then select Open Balance.

Here are the screenshots for your visual reference:





 

Please note that this method only applies to invoices. If you want to include transactions such as Payments and Credits, the negative amounts will also be included in your report. With this, I recommend exporting the report and manually removing the negative amounts.

Moreover, you can check out this article to help you customise your report: Customise reports in QuickBooks Online.

Let me know if you need further assistance customising your report. Keep safe.

So, what if I want to do a report to show open balances, sorted by product? I can customize to add an 'open balance' field to the Sales by Product/Service Detail report, but the open balance field is always $0 even when I know my customers have an outstanding balance. I'd also like to see any discounts applied on the invoice. I don't want to see a report that is only able to be sorted by customer to do this. I've tried figuring this out for years, but have not been able to do this. Please help.

Thanks for joining this thread, jmarewski.
