How to properly receive a payment and make deposit when your bank is attached to QBO

I appreciate you following up on this thread, basemech.

 

If you're attempting to record a payment in QuickBooks Online, we can use the Receive Payment feature and create a deposit to transfer the payment to your bank's online banking account.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Click + New in the left panel and choose Receive payment.
  2. Choose a customer.
  3. Select the invoice.
  4. Hit Save and close.

 

Once done, we can transfer the payment by creating a deposit. Here's an article that provides the detailed steps: Record and make bank deposits in QuickBooks Online.


In case you want to reconcile the account, you can follow the guide in this article: Reconcile an account in QuickBooks Online. This will provide us with steps on how to manually reconcile your account that's not connected to online banking.


If you still need help with payments, please let me know. I'd be more than willing to lend you a hand. Have a good one.

Thank you for joining the thread, Nayfa.

 

I'll provide further details so you can accurately record bank deposits and prevent duplicate income.

 

You should only have one Undeposited Funds (UF) account. QuickBooks uses this as temporary account to hold money received from invoices before you deposit them in the bank.

 

If you have multiple UF account, ensure that you use the one that has Other Current Assets as the Type and the Detail Type is Undeposited Funds in the Deposit to field when receiving payments. This ensure that the customer payments will appear in the Select the payments included in this deposit section when creating a bank deposit.

 

If your bank is linked to your QuickBooks Online account, you can match the bank deposit to the downloaded transaction in the For review tab to avoid double income.

 

Additionally, you can read this article for instructions on how to reconcile your account to ensure that the balances in QuickBooks match those on your bank or credit card statements: Reconcile an account in QuickBooks Online.

 

You're welcome to reply if you have further questions about bank deposit. We're always available to help.

I followed your process on this and when I enter "save and close" I get the following error.

Something's not quite right
The transaction was declined because the bank account is incorrect, or there is a security concern.
If the problem persists, please contact us
 
I'm just trying to mark an open invoice as "paid". I have my banking deposit set up through Bill.com into my BOA account. What am I doing wrong?

Participating in this thread to ensure you'll get the assistance you need in paying bills in QuickBooks Online (QBO), Blount.

 

During your first payment, the system frequently displays the error notice you received because it is unable to recognize your bank account. 

 

If you're depositing bill payments for the first time, you'll want to reach out to your bank to verify the process. This way, they can correct the system and have it deposited in your bank account.

 

Otherwise, I advise contacting our customer service team so they can look into this further. They have access to a screen-sharing tool to walk you through the solution or initiate an investigation when necessary. Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Help icon and click Contact Us.
  2. Provide a brief description of your concern and select Continue.
  3. Choose between Chat with us and Have us call you.

 

Furthermore, here's a complete list of the features in Bill.com so you may pay, track, and manage bills right inside the program: Overview of Bill Pay powered by Bill.com.

 

The Community is available anytime you have concerns about paying bills. Just leave your questions below, and I'll sprint into action. Stay safe and have a great rest of the day!

Guys! Apparently the Online QB did an update. And when they did, they changed the toggle on the "Receive Payment" page as to where to deposit the funds. It MUST be set to be deposited to Undeposited Funds in order to flow over to the Bank Deposit page to allow a deposit slip to be printed!
