- Locate the client’s invoice in QuickBooks.
- Add the additional Tidy Up service as a line item.
- Save the invoice in QuickBooks.
- Go back to Maid Central and refresh the invoice. It should now show a balance.
- Charge the credit card on file directly from the invoice page in MC.
- Confirm completion to your supervisor, for example by replying in the ticket thread.
Notes
- Don’t try to edit the invoice in Maid Central. Make every change in QuickBooks, then refresh in MC.
- Don’t charge the card until the invoice shows the updated balance in MC. If it doesn’t, refresh again.
- Always confirm once the charge is done so the ticket can be closed.
