Question

I submitted all of my expenses through the expense tab not knowing I could use the bank transaction tab. The expense tab submissions wont reconcile. Can I match somehow?

Example, submitted an expense of 25.25 in the expense tab manually. But when I look in my bank transactions it hasn't been filed/ matched. It is still there. Can I get quickbooks to see that I have already submitted the expense and to match them together so i don't need to go back and delete all the work ive done and restart.

Thank you for sharing your situation, Dylan. Yes, we can match the expense transaction you entered manually with the corresponding bank transaction, so you won’t need to delete anything or start over.

 

When the entered expense has the exact same details (amount, date, and description) as the transaction in the Bank transactions page, QuickBooks will automatically suggest a match. You can then review and confirm it to move forward with the reconciliation.

 

To do this, here's how:

 

  1. In the Bank transactions page, navigate to the Pending tab.
  2. Find the downloaded record that has a suggested match. 
  3. Select the transaction and review the details in the Match suggestion column.
  4. Once verified, click Match.

 

After that, the transaction will move to the Posted tab, and you can continue with your monthly reconciliations.
