Receiver General Receivable has a negative amount on the A/R Aging report

I have a negative amount to the Receiver General - Receivable on the A/R Aging Summary. The Trial Bbalance and General Ledger are correct, but there's no way to remove this artifact. Because of this my Blanace Sheet A/R does not match my A/R Aging report.

Receiver General Receivable has a negative amount on the A/R Aging report

Hello PaulBGeo,

 

An overpayment or unapplied credit will cause a negative amount on your A/R Aging report. You'll want to apply the credit to the incoming invoices to get this removed. Let me guide you through how.

  1. Click Reports.
  2. Click Accountant & Taxes. Click Transaction Detail by Account.
  3. Correct the Dates. Then, change the Total By drop-down to Customer.
  4. Click Refresh. Then, scroll down to bottom of the report.
  5. Under the No name section, locate the credit or transaction and apply it to your invoice.

Please see attached screenshot.

 

Once done, compare your reports again.
