  1. A transaction was entered as $0.00. Possible multi-matter bill where they entered a payment for one of the Matters but didn't pay the others. 
  2. A Contact in Quickbooks Online was made inactive.
  3. A payment was applied to the Bill before the payment or credit note synced over the Quickbooks. 
  4. The bill is a different currency from the currency that is normally used in Clio. 


1. Go into the specific payment / credit note / tax line, and enter an amount in the payment field.

2. Activate the Contact within Quickbooks.

3. Either manually create the Credit Memo in Quickbooks OR delete the credit note in Clio, wait for a bit (an hour) and then re-add the note to the Bill.

4. If you have a bill in Clio that uses a different currency, manually create bills that use alternate currencies in Quickbooks. 

5. Ensure that there's a tax code for each line of taxation.  Global companies need a taxcode at each line of taxation (see here).
