Paid invoices appear on the trial balance
Question
A client has paid their invoice and I have recorded their cheque in the cash receipts screen. However, the invoice STILL appears as outstanding on the accounts receivable trial balance. What did I do wrong?
Answer
The cheque was not applied to the specific invoice. If the cheque is part of a cash receipt that was entered in the current processing period, then you may re-access the cash receipt the same way you created it and apply the payment to the invoice. However, if this cheque is part of a cash receipt that was entered in a previous processing period, you must reconcile the payment via the Account Reconciliation screen. Show me
