How to apply payment made last year to a bill revised and received in current year

Hi,

 

I am very much confused and need help. So we received an invoice from the vendor in 2021 and based on the instructions 50% deposit was paid last year with remaining 50% payable upon project completion. Before the project completion the invoice was revised in 2022 with a new amount and 50% was paid for that new amount invoice. Now they are asking for the balance payment not taking into consideration that we have already paid them deposit twice. How can I apply the deposit that I paid in 2021 to the new invoice that was received in 2022 so that my books shows the correct balance to be paid taking into account both the deposit balance.

 

Thank you.

Hi TMAAC,

 

Welcome to Community!  Ensuring your transactions are recorded accurately is key in keeping your QuickBooks Online account aligned.  I'd be glad to point you in the right direction so you can complete your QuickBooks goals with peace of mind!

 

When transactions are recorded in previous years, making any changes can have a negative impact of other areas of your books.  I recommend speaking with your accountant for the best course of action.  If you don't have an accountant, we can help you locate a ProAdvisor in your local area.  

 

Please feel free to reach back out if you have other questions.  We'd be happy to help!
