Hi, How do you post a customer payment and be able to capture bank charges?

For example, customer 1 is a USD customer and has paid their invoice into the USD bank account. All good so far. 
The invoice value is $100 but the payment received was $95 to take into account the banking charges. How do I post the payment in so that it a) clears the full value of the invoice off, and b) captures those bank charges?

Hi, How do you post a customer payment and be able to capture bank charges?

Hello there, LOPorterdale. Let me help you record customer payments and capture bank fees in QuickBooks Online.

 

To begin with, you need to receive the full invoice payment and then post it to the Undeposited Funds. Here's how:

 

  1. Go to Sales and click Invoices.
  2. Select Receive payment for the specific invoice.
  3. Fill out the necessary details.
  4. In the Deposit To dropdown, choose Undeposited Funds.
  5. On the Outstanding Transactions, select an open invoice to apply the payment. 
  6. Click Save and Close to record the customer payment.

 

After receiving the payment, we need to record a bank deposit. This is where we record bank fees. You can follow the steps below: 

 

Here's how:

  1. Click the + New button and select Bank Deposit
  2. From the Account dropdown, choose the account you want to put the money into.
  3. Mark the invoice payment you received previously from the Select the payments included in this deposit section. 
  4. Scroll down to the Add funds to this deposit section.
  5. In the Account column, add an expense account for the fee.
  6. On the Amount field, enter a negative fee amount. 
  7. Review the deposit total with the bank fee.
  8. Select Save and close or Save and new.
