Hi,I'm entering journal entries for sales deposits and trying to match to bank transactions but the journal entry is not showing in the Match section, why?

Hi there, jbrow282.

I'm here to help resolve the issue you encountered in the Find Match section of QuickBooks Online (QBO).

There are several factors to consider if your journal entries aren't showing up:

1. Date Mismatch: Ensure that the date of the journal entry aligns with the date range of your bank statement.
2. Amount Mismatch: Check that the transaction amounts match exactly; any discrepancies could prevent a successful match.
3. Different Banking Institutions: If the journal entry originates from a different bank, it may not show up in the expected section.
4. Reconciliation Status: Confirm whether the journal entry has already been reconciled, as this might affect its visibility.
5. Linked Transactions: Make sure the journal entry isn't linked to transactions from another bank, which could cause it to not appear where expected.

It would be best to review the details to ensure that the bank account and its associated expense account are aligned.

You can also consider getting some advice from your accountant to keep books accurate and expense accounts to use. Do you want to have one? Visit this article: The ProAdvisor Program.
