Matching historical payments to invoices

Good evening all.

 

So I'm pretty new to QB and could so with some help. 

 

My accountant has shown me how to reconcile my account and upon reconciling, I have received payments but I can't figure out how to match these to transactions. Might be worth noting that all my transactions are already categorised and submitted. The only way I could think to match these would be to delete them and then they would appear again to categorise but it's saying if I delete them it will unbalance the reconcile.

 

The reconcile is balanced with a difference of £0.00. I don't know how else I can match these transactions?

 

Can anyone help me out please?

Matching historical payments to invoices

It's good to see you here in the Community, @MelissaSandR.

 

Matching transactions in QuickBooks Online (QBO) is easy peasy. I'd be happy to guide you through the steps.

 

You can go to the Banking menu and match the payments to invoices. Here's how:

 

  1. Sign in to your QBO account.
  2. Click Banking from the left menu.
  3. Select the bank account where the payments are posted.
  4. Choose each payment and select the Find match option.
  5. Review the Matching records found in QuickBooks. This is the possible matching transaction you already entered in QuickBooks.
  6. Make sure this is the correct match. In particular, review the Deposit toPayment method, and Bank account fields on forms for the existing transaction in QuickBooks.
  7. If this is the correct match, close the open transaction.
  8. Select Match.

 

I'm adding this article for more guidance: Categorise and match online bank transactions in QuickBooks Online.
