Hi there, @achu720-hotmail-.

 

In QuickBooks Online (QBO), Accounts Receivable (A/R) isn't a category you map to a bank account. A/R is the waiting room for the money people owe you.

 

To change the default accounts associated with transactions like Rental Income or to update bank accounts in QBO, you can modify the transactions or create a Receive Payment transaction to deposit that money into your bank account.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Click +Create and select Receive Payment.
  2. Select the Customer.
  3. In the Payment Date section, select the payment date.
  4. Select the Deposit to dropdown, then choose a deposit account where you want to record the payment.
  5. In the Outstanding Transactions section, select an open invoice to apply the payment.
  6. Click Save and close or Save and new.
