Matching transactions resolve error

I am matching payment transactions to a bank deposit.  I have done this many times before, but currently I can not get the resolve button to work correctly to resolve the difference.  It creates the transaction and adds it appropriately in its calculation but does not fill it in on the added transaction.  Is anyone else having this issue?  How can I fix this.

Let's resolve the error you're having when matching your transaction, @Ginger2744.

 

Let’s isolate this issue by clearing your browser’s cache. Try using a private browser when paying your bills online. If it works, proceed and clear the cache in the one that you're currently using.

 

Here’s how to go incognito or use a private browser:

 

  • For Chrome, press Ctrl + Shift + N.
  • For Internet Explorer or Firefox, press Ctrl + Shift + P.
  • For Safari, hold down Command + Shift + N.
  • Microsoft Edge:  CTRL + Shift + P

 

If it works, here's how to clear cache and cookies to fix issues when using QuickBooks Online. Restart your browser right after. You can also proceed by using other supported browsers (Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari, Microsoft Edge) if the steps above don’t work.

 

Here's more information that can help you find a match while you’re reviewing downloaded bank and credit card transactions: Fix mismatched or miscategorized bank transactions.

My totals on my Profit and Loss by tag group and profit and loss for the company do not match.  Can I reindex the data or where can I find the difference?  I would like to use the tag group reports, but they are way off the profit and loss - and I don't know which is correct.  I tried clearing the cache, cookies and using the private browser.  They are still all the same totals

so it appears that it is not working because it is a negative value.  It used to let me do this so this is disappointing that it no longer does.  I work with Square and that negative amount was the fee amount and how I tracked that.  Now I'm not sure how to match my sales to my bank deposit.

Thanks for keeping us posted, Ginger2744.

 

I'll give steps on how you can reach out to our support team regarding the Resolve Difference function. Meanwhile, let me share a way on how you can match your sales to the bank deposit.

 

Some banks add service charges and processing fees.  If you haven't recorded a bank deposit in QuickBooks for the sales transaction, let's do that and add the fee as a negative amount. Before doing so, please make sure to change the Deposit to account in your sales transaction to Undeposited Funds. This way, the transaction will show up in the Bank Deposit window.

 

To deposit, here's how:

 

  1. Go to + New > Bank deposit.
  2. Under the Select the payments included in this deposit section, put a check mark on the sales transaction.
  3. Scroll down to the Add funds to this deposit section.
  4. Enter the fee as a line item.
  5. Select who the fee was from (for example, the bank charging you).
  6. From the Account drop-down, choose Bank Charges.
  7. Enter the amount fee as a negative number. For example, if the fee was US $.50, enter –.50.
  8. Review the deposit total with the bank fee.
  9. Hit  Save and close or Save and new.

Once done, you can now match this deposit to the one downloaded in the Banking page.

Quickbooks introduced a bug in a previous update. I am struggling with this as well. All of my CC# payments come in minus the processing fee. We also do net 2/10 for customers on terms. Currently the workaround provided is to create an expense for each transaction and then match the transactions as I normally would. But this is going mean I have to manually enter 100s of transactions for each CC# payment for each customer. This is a major bug and is supposedly to be patched in next update. But I was told that about the previous update as well.

Looks like the bug has been resolved. I'm not able to enter a negative number in the resolve transaction and get it to post.
