Matching bank transaction to multiple expenses in foreign currency?

I recently made an FX payment in South African Rand (ZAR) from a GBP bank account to cover the cost of two invoices in ZAR.

I'm trying to get Quickbooks to match this one bank transaction to the two invoices I paid but cannot get it to work.

 

Any ideas?

Hi, Rebe1A11iance. Yes, you can match a bank transaction to multiple foreign-currency expenses. As you mentioned, you paid two ZAR invoices from your GBP bank account.

 

You can match the GBP bank transaction to the two bill payments rather than the supplier invoices. The Bank transactions page may not show these matches automatically, so we'll need to match them manually. Here’s how: 

 

  1. From the Bank transactions page, click Match on the bank transaction. 
  2. Under Find and select record(s) to match, choose Foreign currency
  3. Check that the Date range is correct. 
  4. Select the bill payments (ZAR) to match them with the bank transaction. 
  5. Click Match

 

After matching the transactions in QuickBooks Online, you can reconcile your accounts once the statement is available.
