The Record Bounced Check feature in QuickBooks is only applicable to payments made by check and applied to invoices, Susan607.
Sales Receipts represent transactions where payment has already been fully received at the time of sale. Unlike invoices, which create an accounts receivable entry, the Record Bounced Check functionality cannot be applied to sales receipts.
However, if you prefer to process a bounced check this way, you can create an invoice and mark it as paid using the same date the sales receipt was originally recorded. Then, you can use the Record Bounced Check feature. For detailed instructions, please refer to this article: QuickBooks Desktop for Mac.
Alternatively, you can record the bounced check using a Journal Entry to reverse the payment. In such cases, I recommend consulting your accountant to ensure accuracy and compliance with accounting standards.
