Question

When I select 1 invoice and 1 credit on Receive payment, it is not working because the credited amount is added rather than deducted. Can you fix this bug?

I know this should be submitted as a bug to Quickbooks, but I cannot do that because I am using Quickbooks Global from the timezone completely opposite of Canadian time. I cannot find any email address/online form to submit problems to Quickbooks.

Thanks for sharing this with us, @MK777. I understand you're unable to utilize the credits under the invoice section in the QuickBooks Online account. Let's resolve this so you can successfully add the credits to your client's invoices.

 

Let's try to use an incognito window to see if the option will work there. If you can apply the credits from there, we can try to clear the browser's cache from your regular browser.

 

Here are the shortcuts to incognito browsers:

 

  • Google Chrome: press Ctrl + Shift + N
  • Microsoft Edge: press Ctrl + Shift + N
  • Firefox: press Shift + CTRL + P

 

Furthermore, the cache can interfere with and affect the functionality of QuickBooks and result in missing tabs and features thus clearing the cache to lessen issues that arise when using QuickBooks.

 

Furthermore, to customize the reports mentioned above, you can modify the date range, and grouping of information. Navigate to the top of any report and make the desired changes. If you want to explore additional customization options, you can select the "Customize" option. Visit this page for your guide:

Thank you for your reply. I tried the 'Receive Payment' in Incognito (on Edge), but it didn't work. The behaviour of the program is exactly the same as what I see on non-Incognito I think.

 

When I select 'Receive Payment' and select a client, I get the list of open invoices and credit notes. I selected 1 from the invoice and 1 from the credit note. Total amount received is NOT calculated automatically to invoice minus credit note, so I had to deduct the credit note amount from the total amount received. 

 

When I save the above, the credited amount is recorded as an unpaid amount against the invoice. Therefore, I am seeing the below description on the invoice with invoice NOT being paid fully.

 

Overdue 11 days
Partially paid, ₱48,706.56 due
 
When I open the payment, the credit note is NOT ticket. When I add a tick to the credit note amounted 48706.56, nothing happens. Total amount is not changed. It's impossible to add payment in this way because we always have a bit of credit note attached to every single invoice we get paid for.
