Hi everyone,

 

I am beginning to think I am really thick but can someone explain the basics please.

I have been told to scan invoices to Dext, I can do this fine.  I am reviewing the information and categorising the items. Then I press publish which sends the info to Quickbooks Online.

I am then going into Quickbooks to transactions - some are being matched instantly ie where an item for say fuel has been purchased and paid for immediately.  I am reviewing some of the items and categorising them again and pressing add, they then disappear as categorised.

 

This is where I don't understand what to do next please.  My suppliers accounts are showing that I owe them but I know I have paid the monies but I have obviously not found out where to match an amount to an outstanding invoice 

 

I appreciate I am asking someone for a very long reply but any help appreciated.

Thanks in advance

I am thrilled to have you here today, @Farmer Sue

 

Thank you for using QuickBooks as your business partner. I love enthusiastic people that's why I'm here to share the basics of managing bank transactions and invoices or bills.

 

You'll see the transactions downloaded to QuickBooks on the For review tab. It is where you can match, add, or view multiple matches. The option to Add will appear if there's no existing matching transaction. Otherwise, QuickBooks match it with the one you've already entered to avoid duplicates.

 

After adding or matching the transactions, they are visible on the Categorised tab. This is where you can review or undo them to move to a different account. To learn more about putting them into the correct accounts, check out this reference: Categorise and match online bank transactions in QuickBooks Online.

 

If you're on the Banking page and unable to find payments for the invoices or bills, there may be a delay in the syncing process. Please know that the information imported in QuickBooks is dependent on your bank. In the meantime, we can perform a manual update to verify this.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Banking page and choose the blue tile for your bank.
  2. Select the Update button in the upper-right corner.

However, if there's an open balance on the supplier's profile, go to the Transaction List and locate the bill. Select the Make Payment to go to the Bill Payment page.

Tick the transaction and enter the amount under the Payment column. Once you Save and close, it will zero out the balance on the supplier profile. I'm adding a screenshot below to know what it should look like:
