If you ever need to edit a transaction out of the GL, we've made it simple!
You can now:
- Add or edit check numbers and dates, which will sync back to your GL automatically
- Indicate if a transaction is billable (QBO only)
- Track the customer and project if enabled in your general ledger.
To edit an individual transaction, follow the steps below:
- Click the action menu (ellipses) to the far right of the transaction you wish to perform the action(s) on.
- Select edit from the pop-up menu
- Fill in the desired fields.
When editing a bank feed transaction, users have the option to save their changes and add them to the general ledger at the same time. This is done using the Save Changes & Add to GL button in the lower right of the Edit Transaction pop-up screen.
You may need to RESET the transaction before editing. Once the reset is complete, you can then take additional actions, such as: edit, match or exclude.
For transactions associated with a check, you will also be able to edit the check date and check number.
Editing transactions from the "Needs Review" Tab
To edit a transaction on the Needs Review tab, click the Action button and then the Edit button via the menu.
This will open a modal that will allow you to edit additional transaction details, such as: memo/description and class.
To split the transaction by class or category, click Add Row on the left side under the transaction you’re editing.
Note: You can split the amount of the transaction by percentage or amount.
Once done, click the Save Changes button to commit your edits to the client’s QuickBooks Online (QBO) or Xero account.
Add to GL and Mark Reviewed
Users have an option to simultaneously add a transaction to the general ledger and mark it reviewed. This can be done by clicking the Action (...) button to the far right of a single transaction and selecting Add to GL & Mark Reviewed. Users may also select multiple transactions by checking their boxes to the far left of each transaction, then use the Other Actions drop-down to mark them all as reviewed and add them all to the general ledger at the same time.
Adding a transaction to the GL while leaving it on the Needs Review
Uncategorized transactions can now be moved to the GL without being “reviewed,” keeping them on the Needs Review tab where they can be updated with late-arriving information.
How does it work?
Click the action menu (ellipses) to the far right of the transaction in question, and select Add to GL. The transaction will now be reflected in the GL, but remain on the Needs Review tab awaiting further information.
