Hi

I have historic supplier bills that have marked as paid via the 'bill payment' process.  However, I also have downloaded bank transactions that relate to the same bills - can I link them how do I handle them so that I don't double account?

Thanks

Hi Goddess2412, thanks for joining the Community

 

You can use the Match function in QuickBooks banking to link downloaded bank transactions to manually entered transactions. If you don't see an automated Match in the action column, click onto the transaction in the for review feed to expand the view and select find match

 

Some transactions can’t find their match from existing records because:

 

- The payees, amounts, or dates don’t match.
- The transaction is older than 6 months (Tip: You can still find a match when you select the Find match section.)
- The bank account on the payment isn't the same as the bank where the match is located.
- The payment has been reconciled.
- The record is already matched to another transaction. 
- There are multiple currencies involved, and the exchange rate has shifted significantly, making the amounts very different.

 

To fix, you can locate the original record to correct the details, or in cases where it won't be possible to match (e.g. the payment has been reconciled) exclude the transaction from your bank feed. To exclude, tick the check-box beside the transaction in the for review feed > scroll to the top of the screen and select exclude.
