Thank you for reaching out with your question about matching receipts to transactions after closing the books in QuickBooks Online (QBO), @jgrove1. I’m here to provide clarity and assistance.
In QBO, closing a period signifies that the accounting cycle for that time frame is complete and the transactions are locked to ensure data accuracy.
If you need to match a receipt to a transaction within a closed period, the books will be temporarily reopened. This process should be handled delicately to preserve the integrity of your financial records.
Here's a step-by-step process:
- Go to Gear icon, then select Account and Settings.
- Pick the Advanced tab.
- Choose Edit ✎ in the Accounting section.
- Change the Closing date.
After making the necessary changes, remember to re-close the books to secure your data once more.
