I can share some information about how QuickBooks Self-Employed handles the forwarded receipts, bubblesintimellc.
When we import receipts to QBSE, the program will automatically check if a credit/debit card number is provided and it's credit/bank account is connected.
If it has credit card info, then the receipt will match to a certain transaction coming from the feeds. The program will try to match it with a transaction and if it doesn't find one, the receipt goes into the Needs Action folder to avoid creating duplicate transactions.
If there's no credit/debit card number provided or that account isn't connected to QuickBooks Self-Employed account, the program will still try to match and attach the receipt to the existing transaction. However, it will automatically create a new cash transaction if it doesn't find a match.
To fix this, we can exclude those transactions. Then, let's manually recreate them attach receipts. I'll guide you how:
- Select Transactions from the sidebar menu.
- Tick the checkbox of the appropriate transactions.
- Click the Exclude icon above the table.
Once done, you can follow the steps below in recreating those transactions:
- Select Transaction from the sidebar menu.
- Click the Add Transaction button.
- Enter the amount and a brief description.
- Browse the Select a category menu and choose the best option to organize your transaction.
- If you have a receipt, you can drag and drop it onto the form.
- When you’re ready, select Save.
I've included an article that will guide you in categorizing and editing transactions in QuickBooks Self-Employed.
