Thanks for coming back and providing us with in-depth details of your concern, Merkay.

 

We can transfer credits from one customer job to another as long as you have an access to the Chart of Accounts to complete this process. Here's how:

 

  1. Open the invoice you're transferring the credit to.
  2. Select Apply Credits. Credits from another customer job would show under available credits.
  3. Choose the existing credits then Done.
  4. On the Confirm transfer window, press Yes to complete the transfer.

 

 

 

This is a permanent action. If you need to change or reverse this action, please consult with your accountant before doing so. When performing this action, QuickBooks will generate two General Journal entries to transfer the credits to the appropriate Job. The memo for these journal entries will say "Transfer of Credits for..." to make it easier to understand later. In addition, when using the transfer credits feature for the first time, the software creates an "Other Current Assets" clearing account to move the credits. It will appear inactive, indicating that it is only used to transfer credits.

 

Also, following the steps provided by my colleague above, should enable you to transfer the money paid from one customer to another using the Journal Entry (JE). Then, link the payment or credit to the journal entry and applied the credit to the unpaid invoice. Also, I highly recommend you reach out to your accountant for expert advice. This also ensures that your books or records are accurate.
