How do I import transactions when it says it is 'up to date'?

When I import the transactions from my bank it says 'Nothing imported. This account is up to date.' I assure you it is NOT up to date.  I downloaded one statement last night just fine, then when I did the next month it came up with that message.  The register does not show any 'new' transactions either.  I have imported from two other accounts just fine since this as well, one of them from the same banking institution.  I NEED to get these transactions ASAP. Please help me find them or figure out how to download them.  There are way too many to input them individually.

How do I import transactions when it says it is 'up to date'?

If this is web connect I suspect the .qbo file is formatted the same as the last import. Confirm that this in fact is a new file and use the below instructions to re import.

How to re import web connect files


Reloading web connect files. Each transaction within the file contains a unique identifier. With a little manual manipulation you can modify this identifier and reload the file. However, be careful the purpose of this unique identifier to make sure you don't import duplicate entries.  


1. Open the web connect file with the text edit.   


2. Select edit>find>find and replace.  


3. In the search field enter <FITID>  


4. In replace field enter <FITID>1  


5. Select "Replace All", then done.  


6. Import the web connect file into quickbooks (file menu-> Utilities-> import->web connect)

THANK YOU! Really, I appreciate it! It worked. Hopefully I won't need to do this with every month. But even if I do, at least I can get it done!

The financial institution should take care of this. QB is trying to prevent duplicate imports and looks for certain formatting in the file, if QB sees something unexpected it will not allow reimport without manipulating the file.

How do I import transactions when it says it is 'up to date'?

I tried what you said. Now I no longer get the "all transactions are up to date" message. Now I get one that says, "The file you are importing contains transactions for the following accounts at __________ - QB WebConnect.

For each downloaded account, select a matching QuickBooks account from the Store in the QuickBooks Account menu. When finished, click Continue."

The problem with this is that it tried to make me set up a new account to import into every time. I want to use the same account every time. This is an ongoing issue. Thank you for trying to help.

How do I import transactions when it says it is 'up to date'?

Have you figured this out yet?  I am having the same issue.  QB has gone downhill as far as I'm concerned.  Ever since I renewed my membership I have had these problems.  When I called customer service, they wanted me to pay a membership fee for service help on their product! That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard!  Your product is not working properly, so I should pay you to tell me how to go through loopholes to make it work every time I need to update?  UGH!

Have you figured out what to do about this?  It is ridiculous!  I am having the same problem.  When I called customer service to ask how to fix it, they wanted me to pay a membership fee to receive their help on their malfunctioning product.  QB has gone downhill as far as I'm concerned.  Will definitely look into other products when this one expires!

How do I import transactions when it says it is 'up to date'?

Hello there, @Sternlc.

 

Thanks for adding your concern on this thread. I can provide information about downloading transaction into QuickBooks Desktop.

 

There are no a reported issue with regards to Web Connect file, however, I have some troubleshooting steps to add that should work for you.

 

You may download directly from the banks website, outside of QuickBooks:

  1. Visit your bank's website outside of QuickBooks.
  2. Download and Save the .QBO file to your Desktop.
  3. In QuickBooks:
    1. Go to File menu.
    2. Select Utilities.
    3. Choose Import.
    4. Click Webconnect files.
    5. Browse to the file location, choose the file and select Open.
    6. Follow the import wizard to complete the import.

You can also duplicate the issue in a new test file:

  1. From the QuickBooks File menu, select New Company.
  2. Choose Express Start.
  3. On the newly created test company, add your bank account to the Chart of Accounts.
  4. Set up the account for Bank Feeds.
  5. Download or import the .qbo file.

If the import is successful in a new test file, the issue lies in the original data file. Otherwise, the issue is with the .QBO file formatting provided by your bank. To fix it, check out solution 2 detailed in this article and 3-4 for more troubleshooting steps: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/community/Banking-and-bank-feeds/Troubleshoot-Bank-Feeds-Web-Connect-i....

 

This information should help you with your concern. Let me know how things go once you've tried the steps. If you have other questions about QuickBooks, leave a reply below. I'll be happy to answer. Have a lovely day!

You guys won't fix this problem over the phone either. I spend an hour messing with the export file every time i try to import, the hacks above used to work but for whatever reason don't anymore. I spent a lot of money on this program and support told me I had to buy a subscription for help. 

 

QB is garbage. go somewhere else.

Hi asjdfhaksdjhfakjsdh, 

 

I appreciate that you've reached out to us and for performing the steps in resolving the issue. As a workaround given by our investigations team, any transactions not in QuickBooks will need to manually be entered. 

 

Thanks for your continued patience.
