Credit card transactions posting

I have a transaction for a credit card payment that needs to be matched, for consistency I checked the previous payments to see how this was done. I'm showing two matches for each payment transaction in our banking section, but only one recorded amount in QBO. For example I see a payment for $250 and a debit for -$250, but this only shows in transaction search as the -$250 debit. So my question is did they add the $250 payment in manually when matching by using resolve difference at the bottom of find match in banking feed to get the two matches? I'll post a photo example too, I just want to make sure that I do this correctly. Thanks in advance for any help.

Credit card transactions posting

I want to ensure you feel comfortable using QuickBooks Online (QBO), Rock. Let’s work together to uncover the details of your payment transaction and provide you with a clear understanding of where to begin.

 

The reason only the $250 debit appears in the transaction search is twofold. First, it may have been entered manually, and second, it was matched using the "Resolve Difference" feature. This feature reconciles transactions that don’t automatically align due to timing differences or discrepancies.

 

To verify, let's run an Audit log to uncover the missing payment transaction. This powerful tool provides a detailed history of all changes made within your QBO account, allowing us to pinpoint the specific entry for your payment.

 

For detailed steps, here's how:
 

  1. Navigate to the Gear icon in the upper right corner.
  2. Click on Audit Log under the Tools section.
  3. Select Filter.
  4. Use the fields on the Filter panel to narrow your search to the specific date range or transaction type.
  5. Choose Apply.

 

Once you've completed these steps, take a moment to verify the payment entry to ensure that everything aligns correctly.

 

Keep in mind that credit card payments can take time to post. The posting date may differ from the transaction date, leading to temporary discrepancies until all transactions are fully processed and reflected in your accounts.


Additionally, I’ll share valuable resources to help you maintain accurate financial records and customize your reports effectively. These articles will provide insights into best practices for reconciliation processes and guide you on maximizing the benefits of your financial reports:

 

Your confidence in using QBO is my priority. Whenever challenges arise in matching payment transactions or if you have questions about the feature, reply to this thread. I’m dedicated to being your source of support and reassurance, ensuring you feel empowered on this journey.
