The created status for direct deposit means the payment has been successfully initiated and is now being processed, Randy.
In QuickBooks Online (QBO) Payroll, after you create a payment, it can take from the same day to up to five business days for a direct deposit to move from the Created status to being deposited in your contractor’s bank account, depending on your payroll service. The status remains until the scheduled payment date approaches.
If the direct deposit still shows Created after the lead time, I recommend contacting our Live Support to further assist you in determining the cause of the delay.You can check this article for more details: When to send your direct deposit payroll.Leave a comment below if you have follow-up questions.
