When you delete a payment from a matched transaction in the Bank Feeds, it won't show up under the Unrecognized tab, nitsujayyy. With the information below, you'll be able to restore those transactions with ease.

 

Since the payment is already deleted, you can manually upload your downloaded transactions from your financial institutions. Then, you can categorize and match the bank transactions again.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Open a web browser and sign in to your bank’s website.
  2. Follow the instructions to download your transactions as a QuickBooks Web Connect (.qbo) file.
  3. Once done, open QBDT and go to the Banking menu.
  4. Select Bank Feeds, then Import Web Connect Files.
  5. Click the QBO file you saved, then select Open.
  6. When prompted to Select a Bank Account, select:
    • Use an existing QuickBooks account if the account you're importing transactions into is already set up in QuickBooks.
    • Create a new QuickBooks account if the account you're importing transactions into isn't in QuickBooks yet. Learn how to create an account.
  7. Select Continue, then OK.
  8. Go to the Bank Feeds Center to review your transactions.

 

 Once done, go ahead and categorize your downloaded bank transactions. This way, you can keep your financial data accurate and updated. Please see this article for the complete guide: Add and match Bank Feed transactions in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

Also, I'd encourage you to reconcile your accounts every month. This helps monitor your income and expense transactions and detect possible errors accordingly. You can read this article for more details: Reconcile an account in QuickBooks Desktop.

So I did that and nothing changed. I even try checking the account I set up to make sure any matched feeds were deleted. The file I have my folder already didnt show. Are you saying I need a new fresh download?

Yes, you're correct, Nitsuijayy. We need a new fresh download because once you delete a payment from a matched transaction in the Bank Feeds, it won't show under the Unrecognized tab in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT). Once the transaction doesn't reappear, you can manually add it back in by creating a new transaction in your accounting software and matching it up manually. Let me assist you with how you delete transactions depending on the mode you're using.

 

If you know that QuickBooks is correct and want to delete the transactions that don't match. Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Banking menu. Then select Bank Feeds and then Bank Feeds Center.
  2. Find and select the statement from the Items Received From Financial Institution section. Then select View.
  3. Match the appropriate transactions. Select Done to match them.
  4. Select Yes in the Not Finished Matching screen. You'll return to the Online Banking Center.
  5. Find and select the same statement from the Items Received From Financial Institution section. Then select Delete.

 

For more details on how deleting the statement prevents unwanted transactions from appearing the next time you download a statement you can check this article: Remove duplicate transactions in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

I'll leave this article if you want to customize any reports you want to generate in QBDT: Customize reports in QuickBooks Desktop.
