Making sure you're able to correct the transaction is necessary to maintain the accuracy of your books, Sales. I'll guide you through out the steps to amend it.

 

The process will depend on how the deposit transactions are showing in your QuickBooks Online (QBO). If they are currently in the For Review tab on the Banking page, you simply need to categorize them correctly. If they are manually entered into the system, you have to delete and recreate them. Follow along below to get started.

 

On the Banking page:

 

  1. Select Bank transactions by clicking the Transactions menu.
  2. From there, click the bank account where the deposits are allocated and select the For review tab 
  3. Next, locate those deposits and click it.
  4. Then, in the Account drop-down, select the correct expense account.
  5. When done, click the Add button.

 

If the transactions are already categorized, you have to Undo them and recategorize them again. For reference, check the Unmatch a downloaded transaction section of this article: Unmatch downloaded bank transactions or move them to another account.

 

If they are manually added in the QBO:

 

  1. Locate the deposit transaction to do so, you can run the Deposit Detail report.
  2. Find the deposits and double-click them.
  3. Select the More option and choose Delete. Take note of the details because you need them when recreating.
  4. After that, select the +New menu and click Expense.
  5. Enter the needed information based on the details of the previously deleted deposit. 
  6. When done, select Save and close.

 

It's also recommended to regularly perform the reconciliation process to ensure your account balance matches your real-life bank statements.
