One time customer account

SOLVED

We have a general customer account set up for one time walk in customers. A couple orders were invoiced to this account early in the year that now have to be moved to their own customer account. What is the best way to go about doing this. I have done this in the past with adjusting entries but I don't think that is the best way.

Thank you

    Hi NS86,
    The only way to move transactions from one customer account to another customer account is using memos, unless the invoice is paid, in which case you would create a new invoice and payment on the new customer's account, then correct the General Ledger with a journal entry, like a debit to sales and credit to cash, which results in a zero affect to the GL since the invoice debits AR account and credits sales and the payment debits cash and credits AR.
    Thanks,

    The invoices had been paid so I did as you advised and that worked great other than now if I go into sales by customer the total is incorrect. The "one time customer account" is still off. This may not be a big deal but is there a way to make it correct?

    If you want to reverse the transactions for the one time customer account, then void the payment, and enter credit memo to close the invoice. Don't do the journal entry for the new customer's account because you will want to keep the debit to cash and credit to sales. This may seem a bit confusing so you might want to call Customer Support to speak with an analyst - 800-447-5700, option 3.
