Desktop enterprise......I am entering transactions for 2019 and I'm done reconciling 5 accounts for each month through July. My boss has now given me a new American Express Credit Card to add to the monthly transactions. How do I enter all the transactions from January 2019 through July without messing up what has already been reconciled? I am entering all transactions manually and have still ended up with some problems like invoices that I did not construct ending up with weird balances in income. I hate how invoices are put into this file. It supposed to keep a running balance on a contract but I have given up on that since it doesn't' do the job correctly. but that's another question.
Hello there, @Carolexx.
You have the option to import transactions to QuickBooks Desktop is using the IIF file format.
Here's how:
You can read through this article for more details: Export, import, and edit IIF files.
Once you reconcile the current month period, make sure that you don't include the manually enter transactions.
Please touch base with me here for all of your QuickBooks needs, I'm always happy to help. Have a good one and keep safe.
Thanks for getting back to us and providing detailed information about your concern, @Carolexx.
To answer your first question, reconciling bank accounts is best practiced monthly. This is to identify fraudulent or bookeeping and accounting errors.
For your second question, you can reconcile them without having to do so one month at a time. The recommended method to reconcile them is one year at a time. You can check this article for more information about this process: Reconcile an account for multiple months or years of transactions and financial statements.
As for your last question, you can enter transactions by batch for hassle free.
