Unable to match my payment to my Bill/po

 

We part paid the vendor and now I want to match the payment to the bill. 

I go match and the bills come up including the one i want to match this payment to but the tabs where I normally punch in the amount do not allow me to type anything in. It is just greyed out which is weird. I have done this countless times by the way and somehow this is weird.

Please help me.

Unable to match my payment to my Bill/po

Good morning, @PreciousMM.

 

Thanks for taking the time to reach out to the QuickBooks Community for support. I hope you're having a great day so far. 

 

To clarify, does this happen to all transactions, or just this one? If this is happening to all transactions, let's go ahead and try some basic troubleshooting steps, such as clearing the cache from your browser. Web browsers collect cache to save time when loading repetitive data and images. Over time these files can become outdated and corrupted, causing issues like the one with your amount box being greyed out. I'm including the links that contain the steps to clear the cache for all supported browsers below. 

 

 

Once you've cleared the cache, please be sure to restart the browser so the changes can take effect. 

 

Please let me know how it goes. I'll be sure to keep an eye out for your reply. Take care!

Hi;

 

I have done all this and my Wells USD, Wisw GBP, Wise dollar are all now fine but somehow the Wise Euro is still not working, its the same problem and i am not sure what to do. I have been trying over and over but nothing so far. Is there anything else i can do for it to work?

Thanks for following up with the Community, PreciousMM.

 

To verify my understanding, are you trying to match transactions or change an amount on a transaction? If you could additionally provide a screenshot or two, it'd help me to better understand what you're trying to do.

 

If you're looking to match transactions, you can do so from your For review screen. You'll need to locate a transaction you're wanting to match, and expand its view. Once its view is expanded, you can use the Find other matches option to find an appropriate match if necessary.

 

QuickBooks automatically searches your books for matches, so some transactions may mention "1 match found" or "2 matches found", etc. The Find other matches option comes in handy when the potential matches QuickBooks locates aren't correct.

 

In the event you're trying to edit an amount on a transaction, you can do so while viewing it. If you're unable to, and have already performed our recommended troubleshooting steps, you'll want to get in touch with our Customer Care team. They'll be able to pull up your account in a secure environment, conduct further research, and create an investigation ticket if necessary.

 

In the event you're referring to Wise's app available in our QuickBooks App Store, called Wise - Money without borders, I'd recommend getting in touch with their support team. Contact details can be found on their app store page and website.

 

I'll be here to help if there's any additional questions. Have an awesome Wednesday!

Hi;

You see where you have Open balance then under payments the boxes are empty , I do not have that on my EUR account bank feed, it is on my GBP and dollar accounts only. It says Amount Eur Amount Usd Exchange Rate and thats it so I am unable to match anything. Screengrab.PNG

Hello PreciousMM,

 

Thank you for reaching out to the QuickBooks Community!  Just to clarify is your QuickBooks Online Account a US-based product and the home currency USD?

 

Knowing this will assist greatly. I'm looking forward to hearing back from you!

Yes, this is correct. My home currency is Usd.

Thank you for confirming your home currency, @PreciousMM. I have information to help match your bill payment when dealing with a different currency.

 

We can only use the bank account with the same currency as the bill to match the bill payment. This means you'll have to perform this manually.

 

Let's start by creating a Dummy Bank account to handle the bill payment from the foreign bill. Then, transfer the money from the foreign bank into the Dummy Bank account. Also, ensure that you turn on the multicurrency feature.

 

Here's how to create a Dummy Bank account:

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon, then select Chart of Accounts.
  2. Select New.
  3. Enter Dummy Bank in the Name column. Select Cash and Cash equivalent/Bank under the Account Type column. Then, below the Detail Type column, pick Cash on hand.
  4. Set it up to your home currency before saving.

After creating the account, receive the payment of the USD invoice with these steps:

 

  1. Click the +New icon and pick Receive Payment.
  2. Set the Deposit To the Dummy Bank.
  3. Fill in the necessary information.
  4. The home currency amount is displayed at the bottom right before saving the transaction.

 

Next, transfer the USD amount from the Dummy Bank to the foreign bank account via bank transfer.

 

Feel free to read this article for more information: Receiving and making payment for a foreign invoice/bill with a foreign currency. Although this article provides details specific to payments in Singapore, it can be applied across all regions.

 

After performing the steps above, you can proceed with categorizing and matching online bank transactions.

 

Also, there are several reasons why you're unable to match transactions with the same currencies. You can visit this article and go to the "If you have transactions without a match" section to learn more: Match online bank transactions in QuickBooks Online.

 

If you want to use your exchange rates, read this article: Enter and use your exchange rates in QuickBooks Online.

 

The Community is just a click away if you have additional questions about matching transactions in different currencies. We're happy to help. Take care, and have a good one.

Thanks for following up on this thread, PreciousMM.

 

Since the steps mentioned by my colleagues above didn't do the trick, I recommend reaching out to a member of the QuickBooks Online Support Team. Agents have the necessary tools to take a more in depth look at your account and guide you through the steps to get the issue resolved with the payment. Here's how to get in touch with the team:

 

1. Click the Help (?) button.
2. Select either tab to get started:
  - Assistant: Get quick, personalized answers. Select a suggested option, or type a question or topic you need help with. If you decide you need further help, you can still Talk to a human.
  - Search: Search the QuickBooks Online knowledge base directly, or select Contact Us and choose a way to connect with us:
    a. Start a chat with a support expert.
    b. Get a callback from the next available expert.
