Enter or edit a transaction in an Invoices/Receivables account

To enter or edit a customer transaction—such as an invoice, payment, or credit—in an Invoices/Receivables account, use the Form view. This ensures all required information is captured and prevents errors when saving.

Add a customer transaction

You can add a new transaction directly from the register or by using the Account Actions menu.

Option 1: Use the row-level gear icon

  2. Click the + icon in the upper-right corner to insert a new row.

    You must complete all required fields in the form—such as the customer name, date, and amount—before you can create the form. If any required information is missing, Quicken will display an error and will not create the form.

  3. Hover over the new row until the gear icon appears at the far right.

  4. Click the gear and choose Form….

  5. Complete the form.

    • New Refund

    • New Finance Charge

  4. Complete the form.
