BACKCHARGING WITH DIRECT DEPOSIT

I am wondering if anyone has a case where they use direct deposit to pay a subcontractor (Payroll Acct.) and you need to be able to back-charge the subcontractor for something other than payroll (Motel Acct.)

My example would be this...I pay my subcontractor for his time, let's use $1,000.00 and I need to be able to charge him back in his direct deposit for his hotels of $400.00.  Technically he is getting paid $600.00.  I am not able to put a negative number in the direct deposit program.  I can, however, go in after the fact and change it which is a waste of time.  Please and thank you for any help you can give.

BACKCHARGING WITH DIRECT DEPOSIT

Welcome to the Community, @Oyster.

 

In QuickBooks Online (QBO), the option to add a negative amount to the direct deposit is unavailable. 

 

I recommend sending feedback to our developer team to request the addition of this option. Here's how:

 

  1. In your QBO account, go to the Gear icon.
  2. Next, select the Feedback option.
  3. From there, type a brief description of your product feedback. Example: Have an option to add a negative amount to the Direct Deposit check.
  4. When ready, click Next to submit the feedback.

Once done, you can track the status of your request by visiting the QuickBooks Online Feature Requests website. 

 

On the other hand, you can use Online Bill Pay to process payments for the hotel expense. For more information, feel free to check this article: What is Online Bill Pay?

 

Also, to determine when your contractors will see funds in their accounts, you can easily check your direct deposit funding time in QBO. This will depend on your product. 

 

Keep in touch with me if you have any other concerns about managing direct deposit for your subcontractors. I'll keep an eye out for your response. Have a great day ahead.

Thank you so much.  I sent the feedback.  I have been going back in and changing them but would love to have a more permanent solution.  I appreciate you help.
