Can I add a bank account manually and connect it later?  My bank is having issues with the QB connection but they do support a connection.  I would like to ad manually, post transactions, and match them up later when the connection is working.

I need expenses, income and sales from my previous quickbooks o be imported to my new accou as well as to add another bank account too

Thanks for joining the thread to get help with importing transactions, @78101135276086.

You can use your bank data to import expenses, income, and sales. What you'll have to do is to check the starting and ending date of the transactions from your previous QuickBooks account.

Once done, make sure to get the transactions from your bank and ensure that it correlates with the dates of the entries that you wish to import in QuickBooks.

Here's how:

1. Sign in to your bank's website.
2. Follow your bank's instructions to download CSV files.
3. Check the date range of the download.
4. Download the entries and save them somewhere you can easily see them, like on the Desktop.

Once you have the transactions, ensure it's in a CSV file type and organized accurately. If the file size is over 350 KB, you may have to cut it short by trimming the date range or getting the transactions in smaller batches. You can check the format (3-columned) that I'm using:

When it's alright, you can import the bank data in QuickBooks. You'll have to be absolute with the column mapping and date arrangement to ensure you upload the file successfully.

Here's how:

1. Click the Gear icon on the top right and then select Import data.
2. Choose Bank Data.
3. Tap the select files link.
4. Pick the file to upload and hit Open.
5. Select Continue.
   
   
    
6. Choose your new account and then hit Continue.
   
   
    
7. Map the rows, columns, and date format correctly, then Continue.
   
   
   
   
8. Include the transactions by checking the boxes.
   
   
    
9. Once finished, select Continue, then hit Yes.

You'll be able to upload them seamlessly and add, match and categorize them into your new bank account register. For more information, you can reference this article for a detailed guide: Manually upload transactions into QuickBooks Online.

On the other hand, you can add another bank account by going to the Chart of accounts. You can follow these steps for a quicker guide:

1. Go to the Accounting menu from the left panel.
2. Select Chart of accounts and then click New.
3. Choose Bank as the Account Type and then select the Detail Type.
4. Enter other details.
5. Click Save and close.

You can also connect your bank account from your Chart of accounts to QuickBooks Online.
