Question

Matching imported transaction to existing check

Hello,

 

I'm having some difficulty with transactions imported from my bank that didn't match with existing checks in QBO.

 

For example, let's say I issued a cheque expense, check #100.  I later imported the cleared check from a bank download, but I did not match to check #100 at the time of import.  So, I have the expense recorded twice in my books.  

 

How can I match those two checks together, now that it has already been imported without being matched at the import stage?

 

Thank you, Anthony

    Hello alcanada,

     

    When matching your bank and QuickBooks transactions, we'll need to check a few things:

    • Make sure the issued cheque expense is associated the same bank. You can open the cheque expense and double-check the bank account.
    • The amounts of the bank and QuickBooks transaction should be the same.

    If you've accidentally added a bank transaction into your register, we can still undo it to avoid duplicates.

     

    1. In the Banking window, go to the In QuickBooks tab.

    2. Look for the bank transaction, and click Undo.

     

    You can also use this article for more information to successfully match them:

    I'd appreciate if you can provide any screenshots or additional information so I can help you further.
