Hi, feprimafi. I'm here to share some insights about bank balances and QuickBooks balances in QuickBooks Online (QBO).
The bank balance and QuickBooks balance are two different things. The bank balance represents the actual balance of your bank account from the last bank feed update. On the other hand, the QuickBooks balance is the total balance of all bank transactions that have been added or matched to QuickBooks. This means it includes all transactions, whether they have cleared the bank or not. For example, if you have created a bill payment in QuickBooks, it will be included in the QuickBooks balance even if it hasn't cleared the bank yet. Keeping track of both balances is essential to ensure that your financial records are accurate and up-to-date.
Yes, It's important to reconcile your bank account in QuickBooks regularly to ensure that the QuickBooks balance matches the bank balance. This will help you identify any discrepancies or errors in your financial records. By keeping track of both balances, you can ensure that your financial records are accurate and up-to-date.
I've also included an article that will help you manage your downloaded bank transactions in QuickBooks Online:

We use Clio online and sync directly into QB online.
Some client invoices are paid and the bank deducts a fee at source therefore the amount applied in Clio is $15 greater than the amount uploaded in QB as part of the bank reconciliation process.
If payments received at less than $500 in total these do show up as an option to match in the banking transactions tab but are imported as an undeposited fund and will show up when matching other transactions on the same date for a greater $ amount.
How can I match these off correctly.
I'd gladly help you match your clients' payments with the bank transactions, @Jdontas.
To do this, you can create an expense account for bank fees and then resolve the difference by matching the transaction from your bank feed. Here's how:
Your account is now created. To resolve the difference, you can refer to the steps outlined in this article's "Resolve the difference" section: How to account for bank fees when matching transactions in the bank feed. Although the article is for AU users, the steps are the same for UK users.
In case you want to categorise your transactions automatically, you can check out this article for more guidance: Set up bank rules in QuickBooks Online.

Hi
I have uploaded bills to add to a supplier account but one of the fields is “bank/credit” .. it won’t allow me to choose creditors and won’t let me post the bill without completing this field what should I be using here?
Let me share some details on why you encounter an error message when using a creditor's account on the uploaded bill, Karen545.
When recording the receipt as a bill, the bill transaction can't be categorized as Account Payable (AP) since the transaction itself is posted in the AP account. This is the reason why you encounter an error message "You can't use a Creditors account on the detail portion of a Bill". See the screenshot for your reference:
To resolve this, we'll need to record the expenses for a specific expense category since you'll have to create a bill. Here's how:
You can check out this article for more details about uploading your receipts and bills from suppliers: Upload your receipts and bills to QuickBooks Online. Once done, you can pay the bills by using the Pay Bills option to pay open bills from different suppliers at once. There are checkmark boxes beside the transactions to make the task easier for you. Here's how:
For more information about managing bills in QBO, you can check out this article: Enter bills and record bill payments in QuickBooks Online. Feel free to refer to these articles for future reference on handling receipts:

I need to import transactions older than the limit that exists in Quickbooks. I have a CSV of all transactions from my business bank account.
This CSV document absolutely refuses to be imported. I can't think of anything else that would need to be fixed.
I appreciate you for sharing a detailed explanation of your concern, steck. I acknowledge the importance of having a seamless importing process, and I'm here to ensure you can successfully do it.
When importing bank transactions in QuickBooks, you may encounter specific errors. If you encounter such, you can refer to the last section in this article as a guide in fixing it: Fix bank errors.
If you haven't encountered any error messages and have already corrected the mapping and columns, we can perform some troubleshooting steps to rectify this.
Here are some keyboard shortcuts you can use to switch to a private browsing window:
Once you successfully imported your CSV file, return to your regular browser and clear your cache. Accumulated cache and cookies in the system can become outdated or corrupted, leading to unexpected issues. You can also switch to other installed supported browsers, which is a good alternative.
If the issue continues, I recommend contacting our technical support. Our team of experts can arrange a screen-sharing session and ensure you can successfully import your CSV file.

Hi,
I am new to QB and am trying to upload my past bank transactions from a CSV file. This appears to be in the correct format (3 columns in the correct order etc) however there is an error when trying to do this in QB.
Any suggestions?
Sean
I have recently purchased a new laptop for my business on HP. How do I record the monthly payments on QBSE?
Thanks Jamie
Thanks for joining us here, Hamilton.
I'm here to ensure you can record monthly payments in your QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE) account.
To begin, if your account isn't connected yet to QuickBooks, you can manually add transactions to record the payments in your account.
Here's how:
However, if your account is already connected, QuickBooks will automatically download the transactions, and all you have to do is to categorise them.
Additionally, here's an article you can browse in case you need assistance creating a new transaction from a receipt image: Record or attach expense receipts in QuickBooks Self-Employed.
Keep me posted in this thread if there's anything else you need further assistance with when recording payments. Stay safe, and have a good one.
