Received ACH payment, Recorded Deposit, ACH that came in was Wrong.

Some numbers have been changed for the purpose of this question:

 

I received Direct Deposit Advice in the amount of 16k. I recorded it prior to confirming it entered the bank account. I received the payment, recorded the deposit in the amount of 16k. It was for 4 invoices. Pressed submit and deposited. Then I get another DD Advice. It's now in the amount of 8k , for two of the initial 4 invoices. 

 

Then, I checked the bank account. Turns out, only the two invoices of the 8k was deposited. I get the attached obnoxious pop up that doesn't allow me to delete the initial deposit and change it. Is there a way to do this? The 8k of course came in 1/30/26 and it messing up my reconciliation efforts. 

 

I am using 2023 QB Desktop Pro Plus 2023. 

 

Thanks!

Hello there, Sam.

 

We appreciate you taking the time to explain the steps you took in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) regarding the ACH payment and deposit discrepancy. Let me provide clarification on this below.

 

The error message you are encountering occurs when the payment you are attempting to modify is connected to other transactions within the deposit.

 

To resolve the issue, you will need to unlink or adjust the payment first. Follow these steps:

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Open the Customer center and find the specific customer.
  2. Double-click the customer's payment transaction.

  3. From there, you can adjust the amount as needed.

  4. Once done, click Save and close.

 

After successfully modifying the payment, you can redeposit it to ensure the correct amount is reflected in your records.

 

To avoid error prompts when editing payments in QuickBooks, start in the Receive Payment section to update the linked payment. Then re-link the invoices and redeposit. Always verify deposit advice with bank records before recording to ensure accuracy.

 

If you have any further questions or require additional assistance, please add a comment below. We are here to help.
