How do I enter a payee ACH activation credit in my checking account? This is not a paymet from a customer, it is from payment service that my customer uses.

Let's explore options for efficiently entering a payee Automated Clearing House (ACH) activation to your checking account in QuickBooks Online (QBO) and QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT), Michael.

If you're using QBO connected to online banking, the ACH transaction will appear in your bank feeds, which you can categorize into the appropriate account. Here's how:

1. Go to the Transactions and select Bank Transactions.
2. Click the blue tile for the bank account containing the ACH transaction.
3. Under the For Review tab, select the entry. Choose the appropriate details in each dropdown field, then Add.
   

    

If you haven't linked your bank account in QBO, you can manually enter the transaction as a deposit in the Chart of Accounts.

If you're using QBDT with online banking, refer to this article for detailed steps in categorizing transactions: Add and match Bank Feed transactions in QuickBooks Desktop. Otherwise, here are the steps on how to add the entry manually:

1. Go to Lists and select Chart of Accounts.
2. Double-click the bank account to open the register.
3. In the blank row, choose a Payee, select an account in the Dropdown field, and enter the amount under the Deposit column.
4. Enter a Memo as you see fit, then Record.
