I am struggling with duplicate entries in my checking account since I turned on the bank connection.  When I reconciled, it was all good; however, today, I went back in and unreconciled the auto added deposit, and marked the deposits I made (multiple payees and a split) as reconciled (like for like I thought).  Now, my reconciliations are off and I don't understand the Reconciliation Discrepancy report and what I'm supposed to do with it.

 

Secondly, we added a loan and our bank connection isn't recognizing it although when I log into my bank account application, it appears. How do I get this additional account connected along with the others?

Hello lusscott,

 

If you've edited a reconciled transactions the change can unbalance your account/s. Not only it will cause unbalanced to your accounts it also affects the beginning balance of your next reconciliation.

 

You can run the reconciliation report to review the transactions:

 

  1. Go to Settings ⚙ and select Reconcile.
  2. Select History by account.
  3. Use the dropdown menus to select the account and date range.

If you can't trace the adjustments or changes made on the reconciliation. It is best to undo the previous reconciliation to start over or reach out to your accountant.

 

To undo the reconciliation for the period:

 

  1. Go to Transactions and select Chart of accounts.
  2. Find the account holding the transaction. Then select Account history.
  3. Select the transaction you want to unreconciled to expand the view.
  4. Review the check column. If the transaction is reconciled, you’ll see an R.
  5. Select the checkbox. This changes the letter in the box. Keep selecting it until the box is blank. This removes the transaction from the reconciliation.
  6. Select Save.
  7. Close the account history.

Furthermore, about the loan account that you cannot see from the list when trying to connect them to QuickBooks Online. It could be the account type is not yet supported with the integration in QBO.

We have a direct feed connected (bank account) and a standard feed connected (NAB VISA) the direct feed automatically connects and feeds in transactions - do we need to do anything to get the transactions for standard feed - ie the last update and feed was 28 Feb (which was when we connected) and today is 7 March and no transactions have been fed in or updated in quickbooks as yet

Hello CB125,

 

Thanks for post in the Community!

 

Let’s check out why your Standard Bank isn’t downloading updates.

 

Is there an error message or code when you click the Update button on the Banking page? If you get a different error message, you can try the following workarounds to get your account in working order:

 

  1. Click on the Transactions tab.
  2. Click on Bank transactions and select the standard feeds connected account.
  3. Click on the Pencil icon and choose Edit sign-in info.
  4. Manually enter your bank's log in credentials.
  5. Click on Update.

Check if new transactions have downloaded in the for review tab. If no new transactions have downloaded, you can manually upload the transactions using a CSV file. 

 

You can check this link to learn more on how to manually upload your bank transactions.

When I download and import a bank feed from a well-known bank (still supports this), the import activity in the banking center says 1 day ago, but the transactions are there.  However, when I try and add the transactions, either singly or by batch, the error 'An unknown QuickBooks account was used' pops up, then 'Error: Transaction could not be created' appears.  I have verified the bank still supports this feature, updated the bank feed, with no success.

Thanks but the bank I am wanting to see in the bank transactions is missing so are the credit cards.

 

Screenshot 1 show only one bank account

Screenshot 2 show othe bank accounts that I would like to show in the bank transactions page or dashboards.

 

I think the only option is to create a new bank account then merge the old one????

Hi

When Quickbooks downloads bank transactions it select a payee that is not the correct payee for the transaction.

EG: the transaction was to pay for rates to the council, but came up with the accountant details

Hello SteveHalls,

 

QuickBooks Online recalls the last payee you selected on your last categorized transaction. Let's check your settings to verify if you've set enabled suggested categorisation in your bank transactions page. Here's how:

 

  1. Click on the Transactions tab.
  2. Under Bank transactions, click on the bank account and then select the Gear icon.
  3. Check if you have ticked Enabled suggested categorisation and Show suggested rules.

Also, check if you have set up bank rules under Rules tab in Bank transactions tab.

 

If you have categorised and added the bank transaction, you can undo them to assign the correct payee.

 

To undo added transaction in QuickBooks Online:

 

  1. Go to Transactions, then select Bank transactions.
  2. Select tile for the bank or credit card account you downloaded the transaction from.
  3. Select the Categorised tab.
  4. Find the transaction you want to delete.
  5. Select Undo from the Action column.

Hi,

We used to have bank feeds until 482 days ago.

The old method of "screen scraping" was insecure, now our bank like others has moved to the "open Banking platform".

Interestingly though QBO essentially refuses to sort the issue & they appeat to have their heads stuck in the sand.

I have repeatedly requested this be sorted, but hothing happens ???

482 days without any bank feeds is a long time & to date they have not offered any explantion of why so long nor any form of compensation for their inability to assist a paying customer.

 

All the above are factual...

Bank transactions are not matching

eg uncatergorised income

Undeposited funds

April 3, 2024

Hi kayendee,

 

Thanks for posting in the Community! Let me provide some information about uncategorised income and undeposited funds in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

 

The uncategorised income account is used by QBO automatically when you did not specify or assigned a category to your downloaded transaction. You can always change the category assigned to your downloaded transaction in QBO. The same goes to undeposited funds account, if you did not select a specific bank account for payments QBO will use the undeposited funds account.

 

To edit your transactions:

 

  1. Select the Transactions tab, then select Bank transactions.
  2. Navigate to the Categorised transaction list.
  3. Select the hyperlinked transaction within the Assigned To column to open the transaction window.
  4. Make the necessary changes.
  5. Select Save and Close.

Check these links to learn more about categorised transactions in QBO:

Getting error 324 saying cannot connect to bank

Nicole_N
April 22, 2024

Hi, @leanne76. I'll make sure we can get rid of the error message so you can connect your bank account to QuickBooks Online (QBO).

 

To begin with, may I know the name of your bank first? Knowing this can help me check our resources for any reported cases of receiving an error connecting your financial institution to QBO. In the meantime, I'll share some troubleshooting steps to help you fix the error. 

 

Generally, error 324 means that QuickBooks is unable to find the account you set up when it tries to connect to your bank's website. The following reasons might be causing the error:

 

  • Your bank or credit card company changed the account or moved it to a new server.
  • The account name or other info on your bank or credit card company's website has been changed by you.
  • Your bank or credit card company issued a new account or credit card.
  • You closed your bank or credit card account or you have multiple accounts with the bank that have the same name.

 

If you have several bank accounts with the same name, you have to rename one of the accounts. Here's how:
 

  1. Go to Transactions, then Bank transactions.
  2. Select the bank account that you want to rename, then select the pencil icon ✎.
  3. Click Edit account info.
  4. In the Name field, update the name of the account. Then, hit Save and Close.

 

Then, update and check your connection in QuickBooks. Here's how:
 

  1. From the Bank transactions page, click Refresh.

  2. If you still see the error, look for a banner on the Banking page.
  3. Select the Check connections link and follow the steps to fix the issue.

 

For more information about the process, please see this guide: Fix banking error 324 in QuickBooks Online.

 

Once you connect your account and get your latest online transactions, here's a guide to review and put them into the correct accounts in QBO: Categorise and Match Online Bank Transactions in QuickBooks Online.

 

Keep me updated with the results in the comments below or if you have follow-up questions about connecting your bank to QBO. I'll be around to provide the help you need.

Hi,

We are relatively new to Quickbooks and have recently converted from a manual system. We have been happily adding expenses etc and matching transactions via the bank feed but last week there were 7 transactions that suddenly appeared in the list of transactions to be added but they were duplicates of transactions I had already matched. It was suggested that a refresh should make them disappear again but this has not happened. If I try to match them, no matching transaction is available and if I undo the previous match, 2 appear in the list of transactions to match. How do I get rid of these duplicate transactions?

May 21, 2024

Hi, when connecting my bank account to quickbooks via a Standard Bank Connection, I am getting a notification from my bank of an unusual logon from the United States (Linux device). Is this normal? The bank is asking me to verify if it was me or not.

May 22, 2024

Hi JKLEGAL,

 

Thanks for posting in the Community!

 

Know that when you connect your online banking to QuickBooks Online. QBO automatically downloads new transaction sent by your bank. The connection from your online banking to QBO is on a read-only connection so that no one can use any of your information. If notifications are sent by your bank, I recommend contacting your bank to verify.

 

If you see a message about additional authentication, follow the on-screen steps to continue the update.

 

You can refer to this link about online banking connection in QBO: How secure is online banking through QuickBooks?.
