Thanks for taking the time to share your concern here in the Community, NP24.

 

I'm here to help you mark an invoice as paid and received in QuickBooks Online.

 

When a customer pays an invoice, you need to record that payment to connect it to the invoice to balance your accounts. If you still need to create an invoice, refer to this guide: Create invoices.

 

After you process a payment from a customer, you need to log it in QuickBooks to mark the invoice as paid. Otherwise, the invoice stays open and remains unpaid on your reports.

 

Here's how to record payment for a single invoice:

  1. Click the + New button.
  2. Select Receive payment.
  3. From the Customer dropdown, select the name of the customer.
  4. Choose the payment method from the Payment method dropdown.
  5. From the Deposit to dropdown, pick the account you put the payment into.  
  6. In the Outstanding Transactions section, select the checkbox for the invoice for which you're recording the payment.
  7. Enter the Reference no. and Memo if needed.
  8. Hit Save and close.

 

Once you've done the steps above, the invoice should correctly show as paid and received.
