Why are invoices/sales receipts showing up twice on my transaction reports?

Noticed duplicate line items on my transaction reports and blank lines with $0 dollar amounts. How do I get rid of this? It really makes it look messy and hard to read.

Why are invoices/sales receipts showing up twice on my transaction reports?

Hi, kattlees.


Thank you for posting here in the Community. I'd be glad to assist you with your question about duplicate invoices in QuickBooks Online (QBO).
 

There's a possibility that the invoices were accidentally created twice. You can manually delete the duplicates in QBO

 

Here’s how:

  1. Find the transactions you want to delete, and open them one at a time.
  2. Tap More at the bottom of the page.
  3. Click Delete.
  4. Choose Yes to confirm the deletion.
     

Also, I have articles here about managing reports in QuickBooks Online (QBO) for your reference:
 

Drop me a comment below if you have any questions about duplicate invoices in QuickBooks. I'll be happy to help you some more.

I am sure the invoices aren't in there twice. It lists the same invoice number two times.

 

Here is an example of a customer. The screenshot of their
