šŸ’” QBO Tip: How Invoices & Payments Work šŸ’”
If you send invoices through QuickBooks Online, there’s a two-step process to make sure your books (and reports!) stay accurate:
1ļøāƒ£ Record the Invoice This shows the amount your customer owes you and increases your Accounts Receivable (A/R) balance. Think of it as ā€œmoney promisedā€ but not yet in your bank.
2ļøāƒ£ Record the Payment When the customer pays, you record that payment against the same invoice. This reduces your A/R balance and increases your bank account balance in QBO.
āœ… Why it matters: If you skip step 1 or 2, your A/R account will be wrong—and your Balance Sheet might not match reality. This can make it look like customers owe you more (or less!) than they really do.
šŸ“Š Keeping invoices + payments recorded correctly = clean reports, confident decisions, and no ā€œwhere did that money go?ā€ moments.
