Hello,
I contract to a company that uses the App Humanity to track time worked/billed. I receive payment in the form of a check and usual don't know the exact amount until I receive payment. Should I make an invoice for the amount of the check I received and then record the payment?
Thank you in advance.

Receiving and recording payment without an invoice
You have the option to create an invoice if the purchases are to be paid later,skhelton19.
You'll want to use the invoice to record sales transactions from customers who make no or partial payments during the time of the sale. Then, you can receive payment by entering the amount that's paid. If you don't want to use an invoice you can use the sales receiptwhen your customer pays you on the spot for goods or services. This way, you'll record it once you have exact amount.
Here's how to receive payment from the invoices you recorded:
- Click the + New button and select Receive Payment.
- Select the customer and click the invoice to pay.
- Under the amount, you can enter a partial amount or full amount.
- Click Save and close.
You can use these articles that will help youmanageyour invoices and payments:
- Record and make bank deposits in QuickBooks Online
- Customize invoices, estimates, and sales receipts in QuickBooks Online

Receiving and recording payment without an invoice
Hello, I would like to record payments using sales receipt. Will the payment record to the customers account for future reference and will the account balance without creating invoices?
Last Question: Can you modify the sale receipt payment box?

Receiving and recording payment without an invoice
I can help you with your concerns today, SStevens.
QuickBooks Online offers two ways to record sales transactions. It's either creating an invoice if the customer agrees to pay you later or sales receipts if they pay you right away.
To create sales receipt:
- Click+Newand chooseSales receipt.
- Choose your customer.
- Enter the necessary sales information.
- Click onSaveorSave and send.
The payment will reflect the customer's account balance without creating an invoice.
Regarding your last question, are you referring to thePayment methoddropdown orDeposit to? Any additional information can help me provide an accurate resolution.
If you need help personalizing your sales receipts, here's an article for more details:Customize invoices, estimates, and sales receipts in QuickBooks Online.
I look forward to your reply when managing your sales receipt. Have a great day!
