Question

Why doesn't the QB entry match with my snapped receipts sometimes? All the info is correct but the entries don't match up.

Hi userketoveganbakery,

 

Welcome to the QuickBooks Community. I'm glad to see that the Snap Receipt feature available in QuickBooks Online's mobile app is a useful feature for you, and I can appreciate how it makes adding attachments to existing transactions even easier. I'll go over this with you so you can make the match in QuickBooks Online.

 

When QuickBooks Online is looking for a match between a transaction from the bank feed or the receipt capture feature and an existing transaction in the program, it's looking for details such as the date, the amount, the supplier, and, perhaps most importantly, the bank account in question. I recommend comparing the details between your two entries again, in particular the bank account, to make sure they're an exact match. The date can potentially be different, but the other details should be the same if possible.

 

If the details look like they should be lining up to find the match, the next thing I suggest is some browser or app troubleshooting. Buildup of temporary Internet files can cause problems for QuickBooks Online, so clearing the cache is a good step to take to make sure the program can work without issue. Considering the browser you're using and other such details can also make a difference in the software's performance. Give these steps a try.

In the event that doesn't do the trick, something you can consider for this troublesome transaction is deleting the snap receipt entry and then manually adding the receipt image as an attachment to your existing transaction. To delete the entry, follow these steps in a browser.

  1. Hover over Transactions or Banking and choose Receipts.
  2. Select the down arrow in the Action column for the receipt in question.
  3. Choose Delete.

Deleting it will ensure you don't accidentally create a double entry, and then you can manually attach a receipt to your expense or bill transaction using the steps outlined here: Attachments in QuickBooks Online
