Record one check that pays several invoices

Why this matters

Clients often send one check for everything they owe. Recording it once keeps a single deposit in your books, matches what your bank shows, and still marks each invoice paid in the right order.

The steps

1. Record a manual paymentStart recording the check from one of the client's open invoices.
2. Record one check that pays several invoicesSpread the check across the client's open invoices; amounts fill oldest due first.
3. Overpayments and client creditAnything left after paying the invoices is held as client credit.
4. Send a receipt or the paid invoiceSend your client a receipt for the payment.

Good to know

• The option to pay several invoices only appears when the client has more than one open invoice.
• Every invoice the check pays is dated with the check's received date.
• With QuickBooks connected, it receives one payment linked to every invoice.
