It would be my pleasure to clarify the information, hnhglpk.

A delayed charge is a non-posting transaction, which is pretty much the same way as an estimate. You record this transaction when you want to temporarily delay charging your customer or client of a product or service. Then, convert it later to an invoice.  

For example:

John doe has a landscaping business, and he does weekly cut and trims for his customer's properties. John only sends his customer an invoice on the 1st of every month, instead of sending a separate invoice every week for the job he did for them.

John records a delayed charge in QuickBooks for each weekly job he did for the customer. When it's time to invoice the customer, John added those delayed charges and then send it to his customer.

With regard to sending the delayed charge, this is unavailable in QuickBooks. Instead, you can send the invoice to your customer.
