check numbers

Regarding your QB Desktop year version, you need to install QB Desktop 2023 or 2024 to upgrade your data if required. You can login to CAMPS to check your license codes.

Regarding the check  number, run the Verify/Rebuild Data utility. Did you encounter any error message?

how is the rebuild data utility going to fix the fact that my bank is showing the wrong check number for a particular check. I have the original check and it has the correct check number on it lol obviously. 

Hello there, the_tile_setters. Let me share some information regarding the check on your bank feed in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

I agree with what 4Gal said about upgrading your QB Desktop version to 2023 by installing it on your computer since you're buying a 2023 licensed subscription. You'll want to back up your 2022 QuickBooks company file and restore it in QuickBooks Desktop Premier Plus Contractor Edition 2023.

On the other hand, QuickBooks is only dependent on what the bank is sending to us. Currently, we're unable to edit a bank feed's check number to match it with the check record with the correct check number in QuickBooks. Since you don't want to change the check number in your QuickBooks check, you can either ignore this bank feed transaction or manually match it to the existing QuickBooks check record and then reconciling the transaction manually.

Here's how to ignore a transaction:

1. From the Need Your Review tab, click the drop-down field from the Action column.
2. Select Ignore.
3. Click Yes to confirm.

To manually match the transaction, here's how:

1. From the Need Your Review tab, select the drop-down field (from the Action column) and then choose Match to Existing Transaction.
2. Tick Show All.
3. Locate and select the check transaction to match.
4. Click Confirm Match.

Meanwhile, while the functionality to edit the check number from bank feeds to match with QuickBooks transactions is unavailable, we suggest providing your feedback to our developers so that they can consider adding this feature in future updates. Here's how:

1. Go to the Gear icon ⚙ in the upper-right corner of your screen.
2. Select Feedback under Profile. 
3. Enter your product comments and suggestions.
4. Click Next to submit.

We appreciate your patience as we strive to help you benefit more from our product features.

RE:

"Bank feeds is showing the check # as 1305. but that's not correct."...

"So i went to my online bankng and found the entry.. And its a pic of my check , identical, except for the check #. my bank shows the check with 1305 as the number. "

I don't understand the issue. It sounds like your bank consistently thinks the check number is 1305. If that's not the check number, then your bank has it wrong, which is not a QuickBooks issue. And not really an issue at all.

RE: "I can't get bank feeds to match the transaction with the entry in QB and im not going to edit the check # to 1305."

Why not?

RE: "What should I do?"

Make the check number in QuickBooks match the actual check number. Or do nothing. It doesn't matter.

It's not. This is a question for your bank.
