How do I split a bill payment to OS supplier with a bank fee

Hello @quickcut,

You'll want to use the find match option from the banking section so you can add the bank fee. Let me walk you through how.

1. Go to Banking, then Banking at the top.
2. Select the transaction, then the Find match radio-button.
3. A match transactions window will open, tick the bill transaction. Then, switch the Difference option.
4. This will bring up the Add resolving transactions section. This is where you're going to add your bank fee account and amount.
5. Click Save. See image below.

With these steps, you're able to record your bank fee correctly. You can learn more about bank fees at this link: How to account for Bank Fees when matching transactions in Bank Feed.

I'll also share with you our page about categorise and match online bank transactions in QBO which I'm sure you'll find helpful. It has detailed steps that'll guide you through the process.

That's all there it to it. Please drop a comment anytime if you have other questions or concerns. We're always here to help. Thanks for reaching out to us today, and have a lovely weekend ahead.

Hi ShiellaGraceA,

Thank you very much for your prompt reply!

Unfortunately though, I'm only able to get to step 2 in your instructions. Please see my comments below (after the asterisks.)

ie

1. Go to Banking, then Banking at the top.
   *This I can do
2. Select the transaction, then the Find match radio-button.
   * My payoneer accounts do not show up here however I downloaded a .CSV of my USD account and managed to get it to display on this screen similar to my other accounts.
   * unfortunately when I select the transaction there is no "Match" radio button - it only shows with "Categorise" and "Record as a transfer" radio buttons.
   * if I select "Categorise" I get 2 options for the transaction type drop down list "Expense" or "Check" (cheque?) neither of which will let me do what I want to do.
   * cannot proceed from here.
3. A match transactions window will open, tick the bill transaction. Then, switch the Difference option.
4. This will bring up the Add resolving transactions section. This is where you're going to add your bank fee account and amount.
5. Click Save. See image below.

Thank you AlexV, this worked!

Hi There, I have a similar situation, but the previous example doesn't seem to address it 100%. Similar to AlexV, I receive invoices from my suppliers which I load as Bills as delivery is in the future and multiple payments will be made towards the bill total.

For the partial payments made towards the bill, I use a similar provider to Payoneer, which charges a fee for each transaction, we want to capture this (amount paid to supplier+ bank transaction fee) split. 

The process indicated here, using the Banking->Categorise approach works fine for the split and is an easy way to create an Expense, however how do you match the newly created expense as partial payment to the original Bill for the supplier?

On the other hand, using the Bill Payment option to register a partial payment doesn't allow you to enter multiple lines/split categories as the Expense screen does.  Again the idea is to split the total payment in 2 lines to capture the amount paid to supplier+ bank transaction fee.

Is Anyone able to shed to light on how to record partial payments towards a bill where those payments have to split categories? is there an time efficient way to do this or is it too much for QBO?

Thanks

Thanks for checking in with us, Fpal.

In QuickBooks Online (QBO), we can add the fees on the bill so it'll automatically match the payment amount or check. If you haven't added the fees to the bill and your bank account is connected to QuickBooks, just resolve the difference when matching the transactions. Here's how:

1. On the Banking page, go to the For Review column.
2. Look for the downloaded transaction (check/payment).
3. Click on it, then tap on Find match.
4. Select the bill under the Select transaction to match page.
5. Hit the button in between Resolve and Difference at the bottom of the page.
6. Enter the fees under the Add resolving transactions section.
7. Press Save.

For more details about this one, see the Categorise and match online bank transactions in QuickBooks Online article. Once done, you can start reconciling your account in QBO.

I'd like to know how you get on after trying the steps, as I want to ensure this is resolved for you. Just reply to this post and I'll get back to you. Take care always.

I have been following this thread but the instructions don't resolve my similar issue. If I make a Bill payment in a different currency there is a bank charge. When I see the transaction on banking, it includes the bank charge and will not allow me to match the payment to the original bill.

I can split the expense, but then the bill still shows in my expenses and If I make a payment from there the bank reconciliation is wrong?

Hello there, @Virgo1.

I'm here to help share some information about fixing the penny difference in your QuickBooks Online account when matching payments.

When matching invoice transactions, you'll need to use the Resolve Difference button. This process will help you match transactions by resolving their difference until it is equal to zero.

Let me walk you through the steps:

1. On the Banking page, select the For Review tab.
2. Select the transaction to open it.
3. Select the Find other records or Find match button to open the Match transactions window.
4. Locate the Bill that you have paid with a bank fee. 
   By default, the Match transactions window lists All transactions within the date range, but you can narrow the results.
5. Use options on the Show drop-down menu to specify the type of transaction you're searching for,
6. If the transaction you're looking for is outside the default date range, select the From and To date fields to change the dates.
7. If the amounts are different, you can locate additional matched transactions, or select Resolve Difference to open the Add resolving transactions fields.
8. Enter the exact amount to zero out the difference in the Amount column.
9. Add the Category and Amount (and, optionally, Payee) of a resolving transaction until the difference equals zero.
10. Select Save.
