This Invoice was once an Order. While it was an Order, a deposit was made and recorded against the Order. When the Order was converted to an Invoice, the amount paid as a deposit was transferred from the account used to hold Customer Deposits. This is what SJ003723 is doing. This transaction cannot be deleted, only reversed. Look up Support Note on Customer Deposits in the MYOB Support area for more information.

But the transaction is an in and an out so why is it reducing the balance of my invoice by the amount?
When you create an order with a deposit, the balance of the order is reduced and a transaction is recorded which credits the customer deposit liability account and debits the bank account for matching in bank feeds.
When the order is converted to an invoice, the Transfer from deposit transaction is recorded which transfers the deposit from the customer deposit liability account to the trade debtors account:
The help article, Customer deposits, has detailed information on how deposits work in AccountRight.
Please let me know if you need further help.
Hi Tracey,
Payment never hit bank and invoice was credited. The first transaction that debits bank and credits liabilty is not showing/never happened... where is the other side? Or how do I reverse the transaction I've screen shotted to you everything is greyed out???
If there was never has been a customer payment of $222.81 against the Order, another possibility is a Credit Note was applied against the Order - this would have the same effect as a payment.
Take a close look at all transactions for this Customer, something triggered this transfer. Focus on any transaction for $222.81.
And as per the Support Note, you need to reverse the Sales Invoice, not the greyed out transfer.
