Unreconciled items

While cleaning up/deleting duplicate unreconciled QB Payment fee deductionss/system recorded transactions (which is another question - why do they create duplicates almost every time?!) some other old unreconciled transactions caught my attention. Here's what I think happened - back in May the owner made a deposit at the bank (2 cks & cash that covered 3 different invoices) & then he entered in the payments in QB.  However, I literally just started reconciling 6/1 (no prior experience - so you don't know what you don't know --- you know?!) so when I reconciled the first time perhaps I just matched the total on the bank stmt to a total generated by QB (like the aforementioned QB Payment fees) rather than individually because the 3 individual deposits are showing as unreconciled.  Or maybe I'm completely wrong in my guess/summary!  Regardless, I need help, what should I do with these 3 unreconciled items so that they stop showing up on my reports?  Will deleting them cause problems?  Or was this just caused by the lump deposit & me not knowing what I was doing?

Unreconciled items

Hi @LWAY1,

 

Thank you for a very detailed description of the issue in your post. I'm here to take care of your query and clear things up for you about how QuickBooks Payments works. 

 

Whenever a customer pays an invoice through QuickBooks Payments, QuickBooks Online (QBO) automatically gets updated. The invoice will have its payment recorded. This means that there's no need to record the payment by hand. Since you mentioned that this was the case, this is also the reason for the duplicate transactions. You can take a look at the bottom of the QuickBooks Payments page for a list of FAQs, along with their answers. 

 

What you can do with your online bank feed transactions whenever they appear on your Review tab, is to match them to those payments that were automatically entered in the system. To add or match bank transactions depends on its given situation. See this article for additional details: Categorize and match online bank transactions in QuickBooks Online
