How do I adjust QuickBooks settings to enable updating an invoice or bill?
QuickBooks has recently introduced a new message which is displayed depending on your Sales settings. This prevents the software from updating an invoice or bill if a payment has already been added to it.
If you want to override this behavior, follow these steps:
- Log in to your QuickBooks account.
- Click the Settings icon in the top-right corner of your QuickBooks screen.
- Under Account and Settings > Sales > Sales Form Content, find the checkbox labeled Deposit.
- Make sure the Deposit checkbox is checked.
- Click Save.

Now the software is able to update invoices and bills that have already had payments assigned to them.
