Underpayment in online banking - How to handle?
I have a client with an outstanding invoice for several thousand dollars. Each month the client makes a payment of $200 via credit card. When I download the $200 through online banking, match it with the invoice, and then click "Add to Quickbooks" I get an error that says "The total amount does not match the downloaded transaction amount!"
Yes, I know that. In QB 2006 there was an option to still apply the payment to the invoice as an underpayment. However in 2009 there doesn't seem to be any such option. I have no idea where to go from here other than to leave the transaction as unmatched indefinitely. I can only believe that this is an oversight of the QB programming team and that it will be corrected in a patch download or something. Am I hoping for too much?
