Matching Transactions Quickbook Online

I created a manual sales receipt to match a bank transaction. The dates match, the accounts match, and the amount is off by a $1.28 fee, which I resolve when matching. However, when I look for the match, I don't see the transaction, and  I don't understand why. Does anyone have ideas of what I'm doing wrong?

You’re definitely on the right track, Beo. I truly appreciate you reaching out about the matching concern and for your careful attention to keeping your records accurate. I’m here to personally guide you through the process of perfectly matching your sales receipt to your bank transaction, ensuring your books stay precise and hassle-free.

 

The reason your sales receipt entry isn’t appearing in the match list is likely because the bank transaction has already been reconciled. Once a transaction is reconciled, QuickBooks automatically removes it from the pool of available transactions to avoid duplicates, which means it won’t show up when you try to find a match.

 

To resolve this, I recommend verifying the bank transaction and clearing its reconciliation status. This will allow you to match your sales receipt correctly.

 

Here’s how you can do this:

 

  1. From the left navigation panel, go to Accounting and select Chart of Accounts.
  2. Find and select your bank account, then click View Register.
  3. Locate the specific bank transaction you want to adjust and double-click on it.
  4. In the transaction details, look for the Reconciliation Status (marked as “R” for reconciled) and change it to blank to undo the reconciliation.
  5. Click Save to update the transaction.

 

Once you’ve done this, the transaction will reappear in your match list, and you’ll be able to link your sales receipt without any issues.

Thank you for the quick response.  I went over your instructions, and the transaction has not been reconciled.  The transaction is my bank transactions "for review," I see the transaction, then when I click "match," the sales receipt does not appear, and I have no matches.  The filters are set for the broad date range and "all," but the sales receipt does not appear in the search.  I reviewed the sales, and the sales receipt is there.  I don't understand what is preventing me from matching this.  Everything matches - it's just off by 1.28.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks!
