What is the workflow for invoicing in QuickBooks?

• A. Create Invoices, Email Invoices, and Save.
• B. Create Invoices, Receive Payments, and Record Deposits.
• C. Create Estimates, Apply Payments, and Reconcile.
• D. Create Invoices, Print Invoices, and Archive.

Answer: (B)

The essential flow when handling customer invoices in QuickBooks is billing, capturing payment, and recording the cash you receive. You start by creating the invoice so the customer is billed and revenue is recognized. When the customer pays, you record that payment with a Receive Payments action, applying the money to the outstanding invoice and clearing it from accounts receivable. Finally, you record the cash deposited to your bank with Record Deposits, so the bank balance and the invoice payment are reflected in your records. This sequence keeps revenue, receivables, and bank deposits synchronized. Delivery methods like emailing the invoice or printing/archiving are optional steps, while creating estimates or reconciling are distinct processes not part of the core invoicing flow.
