Hi anyone notice this? Credit card payments trans not storing Location code-not if a “pairing" trans from bankfeed & then not even if manually enter later via REGISTERs

QBO-Advanced observation – Credit Card Payment transactions do NOT store a location code if using “pairing transaction from bank feed” and even if updated later manually from the respective REGISTERs by the User. Scenario: Credit Card paydown in bank feeds is offering “paired” transactions – that is nice, however from the bank feeds transaction view it does not allow me to update the record with a “Location” or “class” before saving/pairing ? So a possible workaround: later go into bank register for the chequing account and I manually update that record to add location and then save that change, I get warning of course that it was from bank info, that’s a fair warning and I then save it anyway. But wait! that change I made does not “stick” ? (I have screen shots :-)) When I go to Bal sheet view by Location and drill into unspecified - there they are Unspecified in both the cheqing account and the Credit Card account - but no easy way to repair them? perhaps only option is a J/E to fix them, then not use CC payment trans type in the future ? thanks for listening/any ideas? Robin Joy ps: And then when I access the record from the Credit Card Register and I try to update the location field, then hit “save” I get warning of course, that’s fair, but even if I hit save anyway it does not save the updated location code ??? I tried 4 times, and also tried refreshing before two of those attempts - still no joy

I appreciate your efforts to resolve the issues you encounter, Info.

 

To start, I recommend reviewing the transactions that appear in the Unspecified column of your Balance Sheet Report by Location. You can do this by opening the report and clicking on the dollar amount in the Unspecified column to view the specific transactions. If a Location has not yet been assigned, please open the transaction, select the appropriate Location, and save the changes.

 

If you’ve already confirmed that the correct Location was applied, but the transaction still reflects as Unspecified in the report, I recommend logging out of your QuickBooks Online account and then logging back in before checking again. This refreshes your session and ensures that any updates are properly reflected.

 

If you have additional questions or need further assistance, feel free to comment below.

Thanks but alas I have tried many scenarios.

 

I tried the log in and log out suggestion, and the problem persists

 

note: my observations only relate to records that are transaction type: Credit Card PMT

 

  1. a) when I am able to update the Location Code from the Bank Register view, it appears to be saved nicely, but it does not change the value in Unspecified (even if log in and out)

and

  1. b) if I return to the bank Regis view the Location code is no longer there, Location is now blank again (odd!)

 

  1. c) if I try to edit the record by drilling into the Unspecified transaction on the Bal Sheet, the system takes me to a screen that is named: Paydown Credit Card - sadly that screen does not provide any access to the fields: Location nor Class   - so I believe that method does not resolve the situation either

Hi there, @info2260. I completely understand your concern about wanting the location feature for credit card payments to appear in the bank register and the balance sheet report.

 

To clarify, please note that we can't specifically add a location through credit card payments, which is why the location will appear as unspecified or blank in the bank register or when generating the Balance Sheet report.

 

The bank register is primarily for viewing purposes that's why the location column is visible. However, you can still add a location to individual transactions as long as the Location feature is available for that specific transaction.
