Hi @qbo2,

 

Thanks for the detailed response.

 

I was able to check the whole thread. Unfortunately, QuickBooks Online doesn't provide an automatic assign of class tracking when adding the customer payment under the Unapplied Cash Payment Income account. You'll need to manually open the transaction and assign a class to it. I suggest you send us feedback so we can add this feature in the future. You can click on the gear icon, then choose Feedback.

 

If you have other concerns, please let me know. I'm always happy to help.


Thanks a lot for all your responses. All this reading and analyzing make me find the answer!! And the problem was that I was assigning a class to the Account Receivable (and to the Account Payable too) so QBO use that one to the register automatically created when I made the deposit.

So, the solution was to errase the class on every deposit that was made to the account "Account Receivable"!!!.

And I did the same with the manual payments I register using the account "Account Payable".

 

Conclusion: Do not assign classes to the Account Receivable or the Account Payable, the proper class will be "take" from the Invoice or from the Bill on each case to report purposes!!! 

 

Best regards

 

A happy user!!!

Hi @qbo2,

 

I just want to verify about your concern with the unapplied cash payment income. Can you tell me more about it? Also, please let me know what do you need for the class tracking option? This is only available for the invoice and deposit transaction and not in the receive payment option. What report are you trying to view these transactions?

 

I appreciate if you can give me more details so I can walk through in the right directions. Thanks!

Thanks for your response.

 

I will try to be more specific. 

 

This is what I think about how works the "Unapplied cash Payment Income" account. 

Every time I record a Deposit, QBO create a register using this account in the date the deposit is made. And then when I apply this deposit to an invoice QBO create the register reversing the previos one using the Unnaplied cash Payment Income account. Everything looks perfect, but the situation change in my case because I am using "Classes". 

So When I see the Profit and Loss report using "Total Only" the account "Unapplied cash Payment Income" shows "CERO", but if I see the same report By Classes it shows a balance under my class called "Service" and the same balance under "Not Specified". I know I should not pay attention to this, but try to explain this to my boss... the additional job of adding and subtracting  every time  is not what I want to explain.

 

The same situation happens with the "Unapplied Cash Bill Payment Expense". and this really change the value of the Net Operating Income value.

 

I already tried to solve this making journals but the balance of this two accounts disappear using Cash Method, but appear using Accrual method.. I need to solve this situation in a better way.

 

Hoping to have been clearer this time, and thanks in advance for your help.

 

PS. Attached is a sample showing the two register created by QBO automatically and one have the class an the other have not.

Thank you for sharing complete details of your concern, @qbo2.

 

Allow me to share some information on how recording and applying invoice payments work in QuickBooks Online.

 

Unapplied Cash Payment Income and Unapplied Cash Bill Payment Expense are two default accounts in the system that cannot be deleted or changed. These are created  for cash-basis reporting.  

 

You'll see the Unapplied cash payment income on your reports if:

  • Payments are recorded in QuickBooks without applying or associating it with any sales forms (i.e. invoice, sales receipts).
  • An advance payment is made and is recorded in the system before creating any sales forms (i.e. invoice, sales receipts).

To fix this, here's how:

  1. Run the Open Invoices report.
    1. Go to Reports.
    2. Choose Open Invoices.
    3. Select the Date range of the report period.
    4. Click Run Report.
    5. Under the Transaction type column, filter to see Payment transactions.
      • If the Payment transactions matches any Open Invoice, proceed to Step 2.
      • If it does not matches any Open Invoices, go to Step 3.
  2. If the Payment transaction matches an open invoice:
    1. Choose the Payment date to open.
    2. Check the Open Invoice under Outstanding Transactions.
    3. Click Save and Close.
  3. If the Payment transaction doesn’t match an open invoice:
    1. Click the Plus icon (+).
    2. Select Invoice.
    3. Fill out the form with the same customer, amount and date as the payment.
    4. Click Save and Close.
    5. Go back to the Open Invoices report.
    6. Locate the unapplied payment, then select the date to open.
    7. Under Outstanding Transactions, check the Open Invoice.
    8. Choose Save and close.
    9. Access  your Open invoices report to see if there are any more transactions listed as a Payment. 

While the Unapplied Cash Bill Payment Expense will be included on your reports if:

  • Bill payments are recorded before creating any bills.
  • Recording bill payments without applying it.

To remove to Unapplied Cash Bill Payment Expense from the PL report, here's how:

  1. Open PL report.
  2. Go to the Unapplied Cash Bill Payment Expense section.
  3. Click the total amount to view the transactions that cause it.
  4. Go to the Plus icon (+) .
  5. Choose Pay bills.
  6. If you see bills matching the bill payments in the list, select the checkboxes next to them, then Save.
  7. If you don’t see a matching bill for one of your bill payments, create it:
  8. Click Plus icon (+) >> select Bill.
  9. Fill out the form with the same vendor/vendor, amount, and date as the bill payment.
  10. Hit Save.

That's should do it! This should get you on your way recording and applying deposits to your invoices.
