Hi EllenKowallis.
Receiving your payments into your company file is a great way to keep your accounts up to date. I'd be happy to help you with this.
Whether it's a partial payment or a complete payment both are done by following the same steps in QuickBooks Desktop. In order to receive a payment you can following these steps:
- From the QuickBooks Home page or the Customers menu, select Receive Payment.
- In the Received From drop-down, select the customer's name.
- Enter the Amount received.
- Make sure the date is correct, then choose the Payment method.
- Select the invoice or invoices you'd like to pay.
- To add a discount or credit, select Discounts and Credits.
- Select Save & Close.
If it's a partial payment you'll just need to do this twice when you receive the second part of the payment.
If you have any questions let us know and we'd be happy to help.
