Frequently Asked Questions (Faqs)

What are the Different ways to Record Transactions in QuickBooks Online?

Here are some of the ways to record transactions:

• During the time of sale, when a customer has paid for a particular product or service, it is on you to provide them the receipts to authenticate the purchase.
• If the customer is not paid right away or if the customer intends to pay in the coming days then you must send them the concerned invoice.

What are the Problems that come up When the Payments are not Registered into QuickBooks Online?

There are some popular problems that usually come up when some payments are not registered in the QuickBooks in the right manner, such as:

• The amount which the customers owe will be wrong if the payments are applied in the wrong way.
• If the payments are not linked with the right invoice, the invoice will display an outstanding, although the customer has already paid for it.
• Payments have been received; however, they are recorded as deposits in the wrong manner. Sales receipts are registered as income.

How can I be sure that the Payments are Registered in the Right Manner?

When recording the process is over, then, in order to make sure that the payments are recorded in the right manner, search for open invoices.
