Is there a quick way of deleting automatically created payments within a customer? QB Online has automatically allocated deposits to invoices in order of the invoices.

Hello there, @john-dawson!

Let me help delete the payments and prevent your early deposits get allocated to invoices in QuickBooks Online.

As of the moment, there isn't a quick way to delete the automatically created payments from a deposit linked to an invoice. It can only be done by selecting More on the said payments and clicking the Delete option.
