## Example: Exporting a net-negative adjustment invoice to QuickBooks

In the following example, we'll show you how a net-negative adjustment invoice will export and impact QuickBooks. In this example, we will be using a bad debt item mapped to a "bad debt" expense account.

You have created an adjustment invoice with a net negative amount in ServiceTitan.

The adjustment invoice in exports to QuickBooks as a credit memo, as the net amount is negative.

The adjustment invoice will show in your transaction journal as a debit to the bad debt service item in your Pricebook. It will also show as a debit to your sales tax item.

Your *Profit & Loss Detail Report* will show the adjustment invoice as an expense (debit). The balance between the original invoice and the adjustment invoice should equal zero. Sales tax is not included in this report.
