Question

Is it possible to create a post dated check expense in QBO that will only reflect in the bank once it is due?

For our business suppliers, we send them PDCs as our payment. Now using QBO we have managed to create post dated check expense by clicking new then check and set its date to somewhere in the future. However when we check the status of our Cash and Cash Equivalents account, it is already deducted even though the check is not due yet. Is this feature present? Or is there any way to monitor PDCs here in QBO? That would really help out our business and many others using this platform as well.

Hi there, @i-am-sean15.

 

I'm here to help share insights about creating checks in QuickBooks Online for expenses dated in the future.

 

As of the moment, there isn't an integrated way to write a check and not post it to the bank account used until it is cashed out. Therefore, let's create a payment account and used it to store your check until it is ready to process your future expense. I'll show you how.

 

  1. Go to Accounting.
  2. Select New.
  3. Choose the appropriate detail type and account type accordingly.
  4. Enter Clearing Account as the name of your new account.
  5. Click Save and Close.

 

From here used this as the payment account as you write the check and transfer the transaction to your cash and cash equivalent account when the check is cashed out in the future.

 

Now after creating your checks, consider logging in to your account using our supported browser versions for the best experience and use this reference for the features you are entitled to use: Help Articles in QuickBooks Online.
