Thank you for sharing a screenshot of your issue, @Rachelcrg.

 

I'm here to help fix the negative Accounts Payable balance shown on the report.

 

The negative balance in Accounts Payables means that there are deleted or voided bills that are paid. This will leave the bill-payment checks unapplied and create a negative balance in A/P. To get this fixed, you'll have to apply the credits to the bills. Here's how:

 

  1. On the summary of the report, select and open each bill.
  2. Click the Make Payment button.
  3. In the Outstanding Transactions section, select the Bill.
  4. Select the unapplied credits in the Credits section.
  5. Click Save and close.
  6. Repeat the steps for the rest of the bill.

Please let me know if you need further assistance fixing the negative A/P balance. I'll be standing by for your response, @Rachelcrg.
