ive just setup my first business and am learning on the move.

I made my first mistake in books by recording  invoice payments in addition to the line in my bank account where they were paid, i couldn't figure out how to pair the payment to the invoice it was for so ended up deleting the lines all together.

Im sure this cannot be the intended way to do this?

Can anyone offer any advice on how i'm supposed to do this?

Additionally, my bank account, which is linked, compared to Zoho books is completely mismatched in 3 places;

1-my actual bank balance is X

2-in zoho my bank balance is Y (which is roughly a week behind)

3-My Zoho books balance is Z.

im so lost.

I apologise if i'm asking noob and stupid questions, but am trying to find the best solution for our business. and so far zoho looks the best, we tried Xero before but couldn't get on with it and are running our business right now from Google Docs. crazy i know.

We've put in tickets with Zoho, but haven't received any responses on them yet.

Thanks for any and all help provided.
