Yes, you can match a receipt to a payment already processed in QBO. This practice is crucial for maintaining the accuracy and integrity of your financial records while preventing duplicate entries. The correct procedure involves linking the existing bank transaction to the corresponding receipt.

 

Here's how to match:

 

  1. Go to the Transactions and choose the Receipts tab.
  2. Locate the receipt you wish to match and click to open its details.
