History-Loaded Invoices

When you first start using Vantagepoint, you may have billing invoices already entered in QuickBooks Online that are not yet paid. To enter these invoices in Vantagepoint without having them duplicated in QuickBooks Online when updating occurs between Vantagepoint and QuickBooks Online, enter the invoices in Utilities > History Loading. Billing invoices entered in History Loading do not get added to QuickBooks Online.

Invoice payments from QuickBooks Online for invoices in Vantagepoint that were added using History Loading do not get applied in Vantagepoint. You must manually add these payments in Vantagepoint.

For more information, see History Loading Utility.

Post billing invoices in Vantagepoint.

Post billing invoices in Transaction Center > Transaction Entry > Invoices. Here you post invoices that were entered in Interactive Billing, Batch Billing, and the Transaction Center.

For more information, see Post a Transaction File.

The next time that updating occurs between Vantagepoint and QuickBooks Online, the posted invoices from Vantagepoint are added to QuickBooks Online.

In QuickBooks Online:

  • You see the invoices in Sales.

Partial Payments

For invoices that are partially paid in QuickBooks Online, the partial amounts received are applied to the invoices in Vantagepoint when the updating occurs between QuickBooks Online and Vantagepoint. You see the payment changes in AR Review, the Projects hub, and in the AR Ledger report. The status of the invoice that you see in AR Review in Vantagepoint remains as Unpaid until it is fully paid.

Overpayments

In QuickBooks, invoice overpayments create negative AR amounts that can be applied in the future. These are updated in Vantagepoint and added as negative AR applied to the project (and not the invoice).

In QuickBooks Online, correct invoice payments received.

In QuickBooks Online, when you edit or delete payments received in Sales, the edits and deletions are sent to Vantagepoint the next time the updating occurs between QuickBooks Online and Vantagepoint. You see the payment changes in AR Review, the Projects hub, and in the AR Ledger report.
