Match journal entries to deposits

Hello there, 

Yes, it's possible to match journal entries to deposits, and I'm here to guide you through the process.

Before proceeding, here are some reasons why a match might not be recognized:

• The journal entry was recorded in a different bank account.
• The journal entry has already been reconciled.
• The journal entry has been previously matched to another bank-downloaded transaction.

To ensure a successful match, I recommend double-checking the date, amount, bank account, and category of the entries to make sure they align. Once you've confirmed that all the details are correct, you can follow these steps:

1. On the left navigation panel, click Transactions.
2. On the Bank transactions tab, select the tile of the bank account with the transactions.
3. Locate the transaction. It should indicate that a match has been found.
4. Select the Match option. Then, choose the journal entry.
5. Press Match.

After completing these steps, the deposit transaction should match the journal entry.

Thanks but based on the example I provided that's not what I'm looking for.

This is for a cash deposit that was greater than the recorded AR so the bank trx was manually entered to Cr cash and Dr AR except now AR balance is over-applied by $xx so a JE was recorded to over-recorded AR balance to Revenue. Now I need to match these 2 AR Dr and Cr entries but as one is a deposit and another is a JE I'm not seeing an option. 

Hope this helps clarify what I'm trying to achieve here.

Thank you for adhering to the resolution put forth by my colleague, HBGD. Allow me to offer additional assistance and clarify things for you so you can match your entries. 

In QuickBooks, we can match the journal entries by recording them separately. In this case, we have to create three separate entries. I'll attached an image for visual reference. 

Once done, we can match these using Receive payment. I'll show you how: 

1. Go to the + New button.
2. Under the Customer column, choose Receive payment.
3. Select the specific customer.
4. Check the checkboxes for the three entries.
5. Click Save and close.
