Transfers

Hey there, @Brittanyxo1. Great to see you in the Community. I'd be happy to share some details about entering the payment of your customer in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

It seems like your using the QuickBooks Payment as the go-to payment option for your customers. QuickBooks will refer to the details on how you setup your receiving account for QB Payments.

Once the customer paid you through QB Payment, the transaction will automatically queue in your bank feeds and find the matched transaction once they're uploaded to the Banking page.

In this case, I'd recommend checking your setup and review if it is assigned to the QB Checking account. If the account is incorrect, you can change it and unreconcile the transactions that aren't supposedly on the other account. Once done, exclude and delete those transactions.

Since you're not able to see the transactions that your customer paid you on the Checking account, you can create a CSV file with the transactions in it. After that, upload the transactions to add them to the correct account. Ensure that there are no duplicate transactions, if you can see any, simply exclude them.

After that, match the Invoice and the bank transactions. Once done, reconcile the account. 

I'd also recommend speaking with accounting professionals. They have multiple workarounds that can be done in your situation that fits your business' needs. 

Moreover, I've included some articles that will help you through the process I've mentioned above:

• Update business and account info.
• Categorize and match online bank transactions in QuickBooks Online.
• Fix issues at the end of a reconciliation in QuickBooks Online.

Don't hesitate to add a reply if you need further assistance with this process. Have a great rest of the day.

Hey MarsStephanieL,

Thanks for the reply! No, QB Checking isn't my default. Someone accidentally hit the qb payment while checking out a customer and it went right in that account. 

So, in simple terms, are you saying delete the transition In theaccounts receivable account AND in QB Checking? And then re-enter it in the correct account? I don't need to create a spreadsheet as it's only one payment transaction.

Thank you for all the help!  

I appreciate you for getting back, Brittany.

Yes, you may delete and re-enter the entries to correct your record. Usually, an amount sits to the Accounts Receivable (A/R) account once an invoice is never linked to a payment transaction or no payment recorded. If this case, you can record a payment through the +New icon manually. Then, deposit the amount to the desired account. For more information, you can open this article: Record and make bank deposits in QuickBooks Online.

If you had downloaded payment, match it to your invoice to close the AR balance.

Hi Angelyn_T,

Ok that makes sense! When I tick the edit button on the transaction from the bank register, it opens with "receive payment" at the top, and under that it says "Outstanding transaction" So, do I check mark the transaction, choose the bank I want to deposit and then hit "save and close"? I am scared to do this as I do not want to mess up my books. Thank you! 

You're on the right track, @Brittanyxo1.

Yes, you'll have to select the specific transaction under the Outstanding Transactions section and choose the correct bank in the Deposit to field so the funds will be move to that account.

Hi Divina_N,

Thank you so much for chiming in! I just followed those steps and when I went back to open the transaction it still says its outstanding! Hmm...

Hello, Brittanyxo1.

I'd like to add some details regarding the payment.

When you open a payment, it's normal to see the invoice under the Outstanding Transactions section. Just make sure that the Deposit to account is correct, and the invoice has a check mark to it, so both transactions are linked together.   

Here's a sample screenshot for a visual reference:

Hi RenjolynC,

Thanks for bring that to my attention. I noticed that when I went back to previous transactions. I made sure it was checked, and the deposit account was correct and I am still having the same problem. I contacted support, they couldn't help. I contacted my bookkeeper; hopefully she can figure it out! Thank you for reaching out. I appreciate it!
