Question

Applying a sales receipt from a cancelled order to another

I have an order that has been cancelled. 

 

How do I put the sales receipt/ upfront deposit from the cancelled order, and apply it as a payment to another order with an outstanding balance from the same customer?

 

Ive used the drop down on the project and marked it as cancelled. Im not sure if that has cleared the sales receipt/ upfront deposit from the upfront deposit (liability) acccount ? 

 

the sales receipt/ upfront deposit has been reconciled , so i cannot make any direct changes. 

 

thank you

I have some clarifications to share about sales receipts, @Nick352.

 

We are unable to apply the sales receipts directly to the open invoices. However, we can create a credit memo to add the amount to your client's account instead. Here's how:

 

  1. Click the +New menu and click Credit Memo.
  2. In the Customer dropdown, select the customer's name.
  3. Enter the details, such as dates and the amount, to the credit memo.
  4. Hit Save and Done.

 

Regarding your sales receipt, you can void or delete it in your preference.
