Hi there, @JD01234.
I'm here to help ensure you can match the journals created by QuickBooks when upgrading to the Advanced version.
Matching the bank payments to the journals depends on the payment account used in the journal. You can go to the Payroll settings and check the default accounts used. This is separate from the Wage Expenses account and is used to account for the wages paid to employees. The usual default for this is Payroll Clearing which is a liability account.
If it's the account used in the journals, you can record an expense transaction manually for each employee which will then allow you to match to the individual transactions in the bank feeds. Here's how:
- Sign in to your QBO account.
- Click the + New button, then select Expense.
- Select the employee from the Payee drop-down.
- Then, enter the date when it was paid and choose the appropriate bank account.
- Select the Payroll Clearing account from the Category drop-down.
- Enter the necessary information.
- Click Save and close.
Once done, you can now match each transaction to the payments. If you need more guidance about matching transactions, feel free to check out this article: Categorise and match online bank transactions in QuickBooks Online.
Come back to this post and let me know how it goes, @JD01234. I want to make sure you're taken care of.
Once you're ready to reconcile your bank account, you can read this article for the detailed steps: Reconcile an account in QuickBooks Online. This will help make sure your QuickBooks transactions match your bank statement.
Have a good one!
