Thanks for dropping by the Community and sharing details of your concern. I'll impart insight to help you handle the negative paid invoices in QuickBooks Online.

 

It could be that the negative amount is from the overpayment or credits. You'll want to check if these are duplicates or not. Then, verify if there should be an invoice to apply it to. Create one if needed.

 

Here's how to apply the credit to an invoice you already created:

 

  1. Click + New in the left panel and choose Receive payment.
  2. Choose the customer, then the credit and the invoice.
  3. Click Save and New or Save and Close.

 

You can follow these steps to apply the credit to a new invoice:

 

  1. Click + New on the left panel and choose Invoice.
  2. Create the invoice.
  3. Tap + New and select Receive payment.
  4. Choose the credit and then Save and Close.

 

I'll add this article you can use in the future: Clear up customers with zero net balances in the Accounts Receivable Ageing report.

Thank you for coming back with additional information about your inquiry, Tatweer.

 

I am here to give insights into why there were transactions registered twice and have a negative sign in your QuickBooks Online (QBO) account.

 

It is normal for your transaction to appear twice in QBO. This is because QBO is designed to record your transactions accurately. In your case, one of the transactions is recorded as an invoice sent to your customer, while the other is a payment received from that same customer. In accounting terms, these are known as debit and credit transactions.
