Payroll, Payroll Clearing and the bank

I am using Payroll advance.

 

I have been told by the QBO team that when I have run the payroll I need to manually create a journal entry against each employee to clear down the Payroll Clearing account.  No problem with that.

 

However, when I go to the banking section and download my bank transactions, what do I do with the entries that correspond to the actual physical payment of the wage to each employee?

 

TIA

Thanks for bringing this to my attention, @M for TF.

 

I can guide you on what to do to settle your bank transactions with the journal entry that you've created QuickBooks Online.

 

You'll need to match the downloaded bank transactions to the journal entry that you made. To do that, you may follow the steps presented below:

  1. To view or accept the match, select Banking from the left menu.
  2. If QuickBooks has found a possible match for the bank transaction, QuickBooks displays an outlined green box under the Category or Match column that says 1 record found message to the matching transaction.
  3. Click to expand the transaction to review its details.
  4. If it is the correct match, select Match under the Action column to move the transaction from the For Review to the In QuickBooks tab.
  5. If it's not the correct match, select the transaction row then choose to Find Other RecordsAdd or Transfer the transaction.
