Question

Reconcile multiple payments to one journal entry

Hi - We receive hundreds of membership deposits each month, from members across the country.  Our member payment database does not sync with QuickBooks.  We receive a monthly report showing these payments with a breakdown of taxes vs membership amounts.  We'd like to reconcile all membership payments to one journal entry that we would perform at the end of each month.  This would save us a ton of time, rather than entering hundreds of deposits. 

To do this, I'm thinking that in the bank reconciliation we would exclude all of the member payments.  Then, using our monthly report, we would create a JE breaking out the taxes and membership amounts for the month (these would total the sum of all member payments).  Then, we'd go into our bank account GL, find the JE, and mark it as Cleared (C).

I meant to add - would this work?  I appreciate any thoughts on this.

Hello rmcintyre, 

 

QuickBooks Online is a dynamic program that simplifies the way you manage your transactions. I'll be glad to point you in the right direction so you can get the resolution you need in a timely manner. 

 

Making sure you're recording your transactions properly is an essential step for maintaining clean books. Based on what you've described, I'd recommend reaching out to an accounting professional for expert advice on how to record the transactions. If you're not in contact with a professional, don't worry, you can search for one using this link here.

 

I'll also leave this question open in the Community so other accountant users can share their advice. Otherwise, feel free to ask other questions, I've got your back.
