I've got you covered, @info1637.

 

You can either link the deposit when receiving an invoice payment or delete and create a payment, depending on how you make the deposit. Let me discuss these options.

 

If you associate the deposit to an Accounts Receivable (A/R) account, you have the option to link it when receiving an invoice payment. Here's how:

 

  1. Sign in to your QuickBooks Online account.
  2. Click the + New button, then select Receive payment.
  3. Select the customer from the drop-down.
  4. In the Outstanding Transactions section, choose the invoice you want to receive the payment.
  5. In the Credits section, select the Deposit.
  6. Click Save and close.

 

I'm adding this article for more details: How to link a deposit to an invoice.

 

However, if the deposit isn't associated with an A/R account, you'll need to delete it and create a payment. Let me guide you how.

 

  1. Find and open the deposit transaction.
  2. Click More at the bottom of the page, then select Delete.
  3. Select Yes to confirm.
  4. Once done, click the + New button and choose Receive payment.
  5. Put a checkmark on the invoices you want to receive the payment.
  6. Click Save and close.

 

After following the steps, you'll be able to change your deposit to a payment.
