How do I match a new Invoice to a payment that’s already been deposited to a bank account


This article will show how to link a deposit from a customer to an Invoice. Let’s assume the customer payment was entered first through Bank Deposit (this may be from bank feed or entered manually) instead of Receive Payment form and then you’ve created an invoice later, you can follow the steps below to link the deposit to the invoice.

First, you will need to find the deposit you’ve originally entered in QuickBooks. To do that, follow the steps below:

  • Choose Accounting on the left > Chart of Accounts at the top.
  • In the Action column, select View register.
  • Locate the correct deposit and click anywhere on it.
  • Click Edit.
  • You will see screenshot something similar to this one below.

 

Now, edit the deposit. To do that, follow the steps below:

  • In the Received From column, select the drop-down arrow in row 1.
  • Choose the correct Customer’s name.
  • In the Account column, select the drop-down arrow in row 1.
  • Choose Accounts Receivable.
  • Click Save.
  • See below screenshot for reference.

 

 

The final step is to match the deposit to the Invoice.

  • Choose the Plus (+) at the top of the screen.
  • Choose Receive Payment.
  • Choose the Customer’s name.
  • The Receive Payment form will now show both the invoice and the deposit (you may need to scroll down to see both).
  • Put a check in the boxes next to the invoice and deposit.
  • Click Save.
  • See below screenshot for reference.
  • This process links the payment to the invoice.

 

 

The payment will now show in the Customer center listed as a deposit.
The payment will zero out the invoice and the Accounts Receivable.
