converting an automatic payment to be credited to my AR

Welcome to the Community forum, @wastewatchdog2.

Let me share some information to help you convert an automatic payment credited to your AR account in QuickBooks Online.

In QuickBooks Online (QBO), accounts receivable (AR) and undeposited funds (UF) function similarly to traditional accounting. Accounts receivable represent the amount owed by customers, while undeposited funds represent the funds collected but not yet deposited in the bank.

When recording transactions for customer payments, the transaction should first be recorded in the undeposited funds account and then deposited into the bank account. Conversely, when a sale is made on credit, it should be recorded in the accounts receivable account to keep track of the outstanding balance.

However, to change the automatic payment to be credited to your AR account I'll guide you on how to:

1. At the gear icon, click Account and Settings.
2. Select the Payments tab then select Chart of Accounts.
3. From the standard deposits, select the account where you want your deposit to go.
4. Finally, select Save.

To ensure accurate accounting in QBO, it is essential to maintain proper workflows for recording transactions, reconciling accounts, and reporting financial statements.

Additionally, here are some articles you can check to help you learn how to use bank rules to automatically categorize transactions from your bank: Set up bank rules to categorize online banking transactions in QuickBooks Online.

Also, discover how to reconcile your accounts so they always match your bank and credit card statements: Reconcile an account in QuickBooks Online.
