Managing a payment on a recurring transaction, that was paid earlier

Thanks for visiting the Community, @Mieke1.

If this recurring transaction is a scheduled type and you choose to send them via email once created, they will be sent automatically. The option to prevent this is currently unavailable unless you'll change the type or delete the recurring template.

Once the invoice will be created, here's how to apply the payment:

1. In QuickBooks Online (QBO), go to the + New option at the top left to Receive Payment.
2. Select the customer's name in the drop-down.
3. Under the Account column, select the invoice, then enter the amount of payment received.
4. Hit Save and close.
