Why does my matched invoice deposit now go to "Undeposited Funds"?

I was missing so many transactions from my bank's auto-import that I decided to exclude the year and imported the bank transactions manually with a CSV. Everything is matched fine now EXCEPT the invoices that were paid using Quickbooks Online. When I click "Match" on a deposit linked to one of these invoices, it goes to "Undeposited Funds." Before matching anything in the bank, the invoices already say "Paid" and when clicked on, say "Deposited" there as well. I'm guessing the deposit was matched on the first bank auto-import and that persists even after the bank entry was excluded? Thanks in advance.

Why does my matched invoice deposit now go to "Undeposited Funds"?

Thank you for posting here in the Community, @musicspace

 

I’m here to help and share information about invoice status in QuickBooks Online. 

 

When receiving payment in QuickBooks Online, if you chose to deposit the payments under the Undeposited funds account then this is the reason why the status of your invoice was showing as paid but not deposited.

 

To change the status to deposit, then you may need to do Bank Deposit. 

 

Here’s how:

  1. Go to the Plus icon at the top.
  2. Select Bank deposit under Others column.
  3. On the Choose an account drop-down, select the bank account you wish to deposit the payments.
  4. In the Received from column, select the invoices by putting a checkmark on the box.
  5. Then, click Save and close.

Once done, go back to the Invoices page and the status should now change to Deposited.

 

Also, here are some helpful articles that you can check on for future reference about receiving invoice payment in QuickBooks Online:

Why does my matched invoice deposit now go to "Undeposited Funds"?

What do I do with the bank transaction?  Do I match it to the correct invoice first and then also record the bank deposit?

Thanks for getting back here, musicspace.

 

You'll want to record the deposit first. This will take out the payment posted from the Undeposited Funds account. Once deposited, you can match the transaction to your real-life bank deposit in the Banking page.

 

Here's a sample screenshot of the Undeposited Funds workflow:

 

 

I'm adding these articles for more information:

Do I need to create an individual deposit for each invoice so I can match them correctly after?

It's good to hear back from you, musicspace.

 

Yes, you'll need to create individual deposits so it matches to those posted in your bank feeds. The deposit window can also help you combine the invoice payment and if there are charges such as bank processing fees. It is a special way for you to combine transactions so your records match your real-life bank deposit as shared by my colleagues. For more details, you can check out the articles on how to record and make bank deposits in QuickBooks Online.

 

Let me attach the Categorize and Match Online Bank Transactions in QuickBooks Online link again to help you handle your bank transactions.

Why does my matched invoice deposit now go to "Undeposited Funds"?

Ok, so I guess there's a separate issue now:

 

I've created all bank deposits and my undeposited funds (in the chart of accounts) are down to $100.50 which is exactly the amount of paid invoices that haven't been deposited yet.  Success!

 

However, after matching the deposit in my band transactions, the categorized label is still "Undeposited Funds" even though it no longer changes my balance in the chart of accounts.  Is this an issue or it is a bug I should just ignore?

Hello, musicspace.

 

Let me start with how the Undeposited Funds (UF) account works. The Undeposited Funds is an internal other current asset account created by QuickBooks to hold funds until you are ready to deposit them.

 

You can leave it as it is. Normally, the affected account of the bank deposit you've created shows as Undeposited funds. This is because the bank deposit increases the bank balance while reducing the undeposited funds.

 

You can review your journal entries to match your downloaded transactions, you need to follow the accounts used. You can open the transaction journal to show which account goes under the Debit and Credit column.

 

To open the transaction journal, you may follow these steps:

  1. Open the downloaded bank transaction.
  2. Click on More.
  3. Select Transaction Journal

From there, you may copy the accounts and create your journal entry. Once your journal matches the transaction, it'll show "1 record found" under the Category Match column on the Banking page.

 

To learn more about what's undeposited funds are, you can read through this article: What’s the Undeposited Funds Account?
