Hi, @bailey01.

 

I can provide the details about allocating credit notes to an invoice in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

 

If you already created a credit note, here's how you can allocate or apply it to an invoice:

 

  1. In QBO, go to the + New option at the upper left.
  2. Select Receive payment.
  3. In the Customer dropdown, choose the customer.
  4. In the Outstanding Transactions section, pick the open invoice you want to apply the credit note to.
  5. In the Credits section, select the credit notes you want to apply.
  6. For the open invoice in the Payment column, enter how much of the credit you want to apply.
  7. Leave the Payment methodReference noDeposit to, and Amount received fields blank.
  8. Fill out the rest of the form, including the Payment date.
  9. Make sure the total is correct after applying the credit note.
  10. When you're done, hit Save and close.
