Question

Does anyone know why some invoices don't balance after a deposit has been paid? Sometimes after linking it takes the deposit amount off but then says balance owing $0.

Thanks for making it here, user11462.

 

Let's make sure we're able that the deposit was properly linked to the invoice. This can be the reason why there is a difference in balance.

 

The following must be check before linking the deposit to an invoice:

  • There's an invoice for the customer.
  • Payment hasn't been entered and linked to the invoice.
  • The payment was entered through Bank Deposit instead of Receive Payment.

To become more familiar with the whole process of linking a deposit to an invoice, check out this article: How to link a deposit to an invoice.

 

To keep track of all your invoices and the payments that go with them, you'll want to pull up the Invoices and Received Payments report.
