Question

Can I split an invoice that has been deposited along with other payments or will I have to undo (delete or void) the whole deposit, then split the invoice? Then deposit

My customer has 2 locations with different tax rates. A migrated invoice from QB Desktop needs to be split in two, since QB Desktop supports multi tax (2 tax rates or more on one invoice), but QB online does not support multi tax and the taxes cannot be calculated correctly or at all since the multi tax is zero, and QB Desktop calculates each tax rate from a line on the invoice.

Sales tax is calculated based on the buyer's location in QuickBooks Online, zeroaccountingisbetter.

 

For now, there's no option to split a single invoice to apply different tax rates for two separate locations. Because of that, the best option is to delete the current invoice. Then, create two separate invoices, making sure the correct tax is calculated for each location.

 

After that, reapply the payment that is already deposited in your bank account. Here's how to delete the invoice:

 

  1. Open the transaction.
  2. Click More actions at the bottom, then choose Delete.

 

Next, recreate the invoices and follow these steps on how to reapply the payment:

 

  1. Click the + Create button and choose Receive payment.
  2. Choose the name of the customer in the Customer field.
  3. Select all invoices that you just recreated.
  4. Scroll down to the Credits section and check the box before the unapplied payment.
  5. Click Save and close.
