Join nowI am hoping you can help me. My payroll service (Gusto) has QBO integration so a JE is entered for each payroll with lines for each item (taxes, wages, etc.), as well as employee checks. I am struggling with how to match the downloaded check details to the journal entries. Any ideas? Please see the picture below which shows what the journal entry line for the check and the downloaded check in my transaction list. I could really use some help as we write a lot of checks to employees.
Thanks,
Tim

Thanks for the update and screenshot, villagewines.
Let's match the check with the journal entry you've already added in QuickBooks Online.
Before proceeding, here are a few reasons the match may not have been recognized:
You may want to double-check again the date, amount, category, and check numbers of the entries are aligned. This is to make sure those checks will match.

We can match the downloaded transaction with the journal entries you've already entered the Banking page. We'll have to click the Match radio button so that will program will automatically locate the journal entry associated with it. Let me show you how:
Take a look at my screenshot below:

Hello.
I do use the match function a lot for other things like transfers. However, when i am under 'for review' and i select any of the checks that match the payroll JE entries (imported from payroll company), there are no matches found.

Pay u money 30
Tax 18
they are 2 parties 1 party amount is Rs. 400
2 party amount is Rs. 298
while passing journal shown as sales 400 + 298 seperately.
My invoices are not matching individually how to go on
Let me help you match the bank feed transaction to a journal entry in your account, Sandhya9.
You mentioned they are two parties for the transactions. The system only lets you match a single bank feed entry with multiple journal entries. Let me show you how:
If you have multiple bank feed transactions but a single journal entry, then you'll want to skip the matching part. What we can do is to exclude those transactions and manually clear the journal entries in the register. To exclude the transactions, just follow the steps below:
Then, clear the journal entries by following the instructions below:
Do the steps until all of the transactions and records are accounted for in all bank accounts. Feel free to visit our Reconciliation page for more insights about reconciling your bank account with QuickBooks.
I'd like to know how you get on after trying the steps, as I want to ensure this is resolved for you. Please reply to this post and I'll get back to you. Take care always.
Hi @MaryLandT !I was reading through your solution for the OP, and I'm hoping you can help me resolve my version of this issue!
You said "Before proceeding, here are a few reasons the match may not have been recognized:
- The JE was recorded in a different bank account.
- The JE has been reconciled.
- The JE has been previously matched to another bank downloaded transaction."
Of the three reasons you listed, I can eliminate two, which leaves me with
"The JE was recorded in a different bank account."
I'm dealing with TXs imported from an app that we enter our vehicles, and any vehicle-specific income and expenses into. The app then syncs the transactions to QBO as Journal Entries into the mapped accounts. When I try to match my TX from the Bank account with the JE from the app, it doesn't appear in the "Match Transactions" search screen at all.
If the issue is that the JE was recorded in the wrong bank account, which line in the JE do I change? I tried changing lines 1 and 2, one at a time, to the Checking account, then testing to see if the TX would show up in the "Match Transactions" search screen, but it still didn't appear in the available TXs.
Please help!
(Also, I wanted to include a few screenshots, but I don't see a way to do this in this reply window, so I just attached an image of the JE in question...)
