Hi,
I am running quick book profit & loss account on Cash basis and noticed that there is an amount sitting in the Unapplied Cash Payment Income eventhough i have not created this account and not entered anything. Can any one help me to get rid of this.
Normally i book sales from Z report through Journal Entry and book EFTPOS payment against the account in Balance sheet. I don't understand this things.
It shows now 1000 transaction in that account.
Thank you

Welcome aboard to the Community, @Vanna.
When recording transactions in the QuickBooks system, I suggest you mirror them to the actual date when you create sales transactions and payments.
There are only two reasons why transactions are showing in the Unapplied Cash Payment Income account. It's either you record the payment before creating the sales form, or they weren't matched at all.
You can start with running the Open Invoices report to verify transactions showing as not yet paid. Here's how:
For future reference, visit the Unapplied cash payment income on your profit and loss article. You can follow the detailed instruction in the order shown to get this fixed.
If there’s anything else I can help you find in QBO, post a comment below. I’m here ready to assist further. Have a good one.
Run your P&L report & then double click on the amount. That should bring up the transaction that created it. If not, the double click on the amount in the list until the transaction displays.
Thank you Ray,
I clicked on that and check the transactions. They are correctly allocated to the EFTPOS account. Still it is showing in the Unapplied Cash Payment Income. I would like to see P&L both on cash and on accrual basis same. The difference is $932,000.

Are you using AR or invoicing as part of this? "Unapplied" indicates you processed as AR a Received Payment for a customer name, dated earlier than charges or having No charge for that name at all. When you uare using a JE for POS, you should never use AR or Names. You would set up and use your own Other Asset account, for "house charge" increase and decrease, as one example.
Take a look at this example:
Hi. I have a similar problem. P&L for 2019 shows $8000 in Acc Unapplied Cash P Income.
If I go and adjust the date of invoices to the date of payments it will not give any problems in other reports?
And also, some of the invoices can’t be changed in dates, so should I change the date of payments then?
Thank you!!!!

I was wondering is it possible/legal to go back and change date of the invoices? They will stay in the same month +/- day or two, is that fine?
Good afternoon, @Vanna.
Thank you for your feedback, it helps us improve and grow. I strive to provide the best possible support.
For you to get the solution, I'd suggest consulting with your accountant to be sure.
I'm unable to advise you on which route would be best for your business, but you can change the date of your invoice.
QuickBooks automatically assigns numbers to your transactions unless you turn on the Custom Transaction Numbers. Once this feature is turned on, this will as an Invoice No. field where you can enter any format you want.
Here's how:
I'm also providing a link to customize you transaction numbers as well: Customize Your Transaction Numbers

Could you please explain how to resolve unapplied cash payment income that has deposit or invoice as the transaction type?
I'm here to help you link your deposits to your invoices, kanthony.
It looks like that we created a Bank deposit to receive the payment and created an invoice for the purchases. We'll link the deposit to the invoice to mark it as paid.
Let's open the deposit first to edit the accounts. Let me show you how:
To link the deposit to the invoice, here's how:
You might want to repeat the steps again for the rest of your deposits and invoices. After applying the payments, we can now open your Profit and Loss reports to check if the Unapplied Cash Payment is cleared.
Let me know if you need anything else with managing your sales. Thanks!
I'll give this a try, but wanted to go ahead and thank you for responding. This is such a valuable resource. I'll keep you posted.
This worked beautifully. Thank you!
The way Intuit explains to get rid of a customer's bounced payment causes transactions to show up in Unapplied Cash Payment Income. It tells you to create an expense to apply the bounced payment to so you can free up the invoice to show as "unpaid" again. Once you apply that customer payment to the expense, it shows up in Unapplied Cash Payment Income. Is there a way to fix this - either handle bounced payments differently or clean up the Unapplied Cash Payment Income account after the fact?
Thank you for joining this thread, Alicia.
I appreciate you for sharing your feedback about the bounced payment workflow in QuickBooks Online (QBO). I'm here to help ensure this process is smooth for you.
You're right. When you create an expense and apply it to the bounced payment, the invoice will show as unpaid and open. You'll have to send your customer a statement, so they'll know what they owe you and why (there's an open invoice).
When the customer repays the bounced amount plus any fees, receive the payment. Apply it directly to the original unpaid invoice. For in-depth information about the process, you can browse this article: Record a returned or bounced check using an expense in QuickBooks Online.
You may want to consult an accountant for advice on the best way to handle your concern. They can review your specific workflow and books to provide personalized recommendations for resolving bounced checks and unapplied cash payments.
There are several methods in QuickBooks Online (QBO) for dealing with bounced checks and resolving unapplied cash payments. If you encounter any of these issues in the future, you can try the troubleshooting procedures described in these resources:
Please let me know if you need any clarification or have additional questions about cleaning up unapplied cash payments or bills and bounced payments. I'm happy to help find a better solution that works for your business's needs. Have a good one, @Alicia.
The invoice is not what is showing in Unapplied Cash Payment Income. After the customer pays it again (without bouncing), the invoice is cleared.
It's the original payment (which bounced) that was applied to the expense (created because the payment bounced) which is still sitting in Unapplied Cash Payment Income. Since the payment is never matched to a sales transaction (it is matched to the expense created), it lands in the Unapplied Cash Payment Income account. That is the transaction I'm asking about - can that be cleared out of the account or is there another way to clear a bounced payment other than creating that expense, because applying that payment to an expense is the cause of the original payment remaining in the Unapplied Cash Payment Income.
