Reconciliation issues due to credit card auto payment. Both checking and credit card reconciliation

I appreciate the steps you've taken, Karen B3. I'm here to help you resolve these reconciliation issues.

You don't need to undo the reconciliation but create a bill instead. Here's how:

1. Go to the Vendors menu and select Enter Bills.
2. Choose the vendor's name and fill out the required fields.
3. Select the type of bill you want to record.
4. Click Save to record the bill.

Right after, record the payment with credit. Here are the steps:

1. Go to the Vendors menu, then select Pay Bills.
2. Select the correct accounts payable account from the drop-down.
3. Select the checkboxes of the bills you want to pay from the table.
4. Set credit that you want to apply to the bills.
   > Credit - Select this if you received a credit from your vendor, and you used it to reduce your total bill amount.
5. Enter the date you paid the bill.
6. Select the payment method.
7. Select Pay Selected Bills.
8. Select Done.

I've got you these articles that provide steps on how to fix issues when reconciling in QBDT:

I'd appreciate it if you'd update me on how it goes. I want to make sure everything is taken care of  for you.

I am having the same problem.  Karen, you described the situation very well.  Because the credit cards are reconciled, the system does not seem to allow me to pay an amount different from the bill.  If I enter the credits, I cannot apply them until the bill is created for the following month.  There has to be a better solution to this problem.  Anyone??

Thanks for checking in with us, mindyp321.

After reconciling the credit card account, there are two options to pay a portion of the outstanding balance. We can write a Check to pay expenses that are to be paid immediately or enter a bill for vendor bills to be paid at a future date. In your case, we can delete the bill and enter a check to pay expenses immediately.

Before doing this one, create a backup company file just in case if you ever run into problems, we can use your backup to restore your data. Here's how to enter a check:

1. Go to the Banking menu and select Write Checks.
2. In the Bank Account field, enter the account where the money will be taken from.
3. Enter the balance of the given bank account as of the date of writing the checks in the Ending Balance field. 
4. For the Pay to the Order of, it should be the Payee Name or whoever the check was issued for.
5. Enter the Date when you issue the check.
6. For the Amount, it should be check amount in numbers. Below the Pay to the order field will automatically show the Dollar amount in words.
7. Press Save & Close.

I'd still suggest consulting your accountant. They can guide you on how to handle this one to ensure your book is accurate. In case you encounter some issues upon reconciling in the future, here's an article you can refer to for more details on fixing reconciliation issues in QuickBooks Desktop.
