Recording Multiple Payments, Merchant Service Deposit Errors

Hi everyone,

 

Were experiencing a few errors with payments and was hoping for some help/insight on to what we might be doing wrong. I already reached out to Quickbooks Payments support who was unable to tell me what was wrong, despite doing a screenshare.

 

1. We are getting occasional double-entries of payment long after they are actually received. 

 

For example, we recorded a payment for this customer (Refered to as Customer A). The payment is dated 6/24, the deposit it was a part of was dated 7/8. (see pictures below.)

Then randomly, yesterday on 8/15, our QB bank didn't match our actual bank. We were reconciled up until Friday 8/12, so this payment showed up either 8/15 or over the weekend  We found this second payment to "Quickbooks Customer" for the same amount with the same CC info. Payment and deposit are both dated 7/8 in this case. Keep in mind, we only ACTUALLY received any money once. This is just a duplicate entry. (QB shows us having 1462.62 more than our bank).

We're not sure what's causing this. Were also not sure which one appeared first, but I guess we could check using audit trail? Any ideas at what we can look at? We've had this happen multiple times. Sometimes both payment will actually be attributed to the customer, sometimes one as quickbooks customer. 

 

2. This may or may not be related, but we are also experiencing weird behavior when adding payments from "Make Merchant Service Deposits" screen. We have to click add payments, it loads for 5-10 seconds, and then it's as if nothing happens. The payments are not recorded. We then have to close the screen, re-open, and then add the payments again. Sometimes we have to do this multiple times until they are added. Any ideas here?

 

Thank you in advance for your help!

Recording Multiple Payments, Merchant Service Deposit Errors

Hello, @devinmfmh.

 

Thank you for providing us with detailed information about the concern that you're having about customer payments. 

 

Let's trace where the payment that was posted yesterday is coming from and perform some troubleshooting steps to resolve the weird behavior when adding payments to the Make Merchant Service Deposits screen.

 

Yes, you can generate an audit trail report to see transaction amounts that were changed or transactions that were added. Follow the steps below:

 

  1. Go to the Reports menu.
  2. Select Accountant & Taxes and choose Audit Trail.
  3. On the report screen, click Customize Report.
  4. Set the filter for this transaction from yesterday.
  5. Click on OK once you're done to generate the report.

  

Next, run the Quick Fix my Program from the QuickBooks Tools Hub to fix the weird behavior when adding payments. This tool will close any open background processes QuickBooks uses and run a quick repair on your program. Here's how:

 

  1. Close your QBDT. 
  2. Download or get the latest QuickBooks Tool Hub.
  3. Open the file you downloaded (QuickBooksToolHub.exe).
  4. Follow the prompts to install and agree to the terms and conditions.
  5. Double-click the icon on your Windows desktop to launch the tool hub after the installation is complete.
  6. Go to your QuickBooks Tools Hub and click the Program Problems.
  7. Select Quick Fix my Program.
  8. Start QuickBooks Desktop and open your data file.

 

If you're still having problems getting into your QuickBooks, follow the next solutions outlined in the following article: Fix issues when QuickBooks has stopped working.

In case you're having trouble reconciling your accounts, here's how to look for changed, deleted, or added transactions to resolve them: Fix issues when you're reconciling in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

Should you have other questions or concerns about your customer payments, you can always get back to this thread anytime. I'd be glad to help you and resolve it right away. Have a great day and take care!
