Process incoming bank transactions

We look for outstanding invoices during the download (or import) process and suggest any invoices that may match an payment. We show these with a Match button on the right.

For example, if a payment for £110.00 comes in from your bank, it may match an outstanding sales invoice for £110.00. If it's correct, select Match to apply the payment to the invoice. If it's incorrect, select Edit to fix it.

If a match isn't found but you think there is one, select Match to see a list of all outstanding invoices. You may need to do this if you receive a payment that covers more than one invoice. Select the invoice (or invoices) to match.

1. Select Match to show a list of your outstanding invoices.

2. Select the relevant invoices.

3. Edit as needed. Confirm the totals match and then select Match.

If no outstanding invoices were found but you think there is one, select Search to find it.

Partial payments, overpayments, bank fees, and refunds

There may be special payment situations to consider when matching transactions to outstanding invoices. For:

• Partial payments. Enter the amount of the incoming transaction in the Amount field and then select Match. The payment will be applied as long as you've entered the total payment amount.

• Overpayments. If a customer has overpaid you or you have overpaid a supplier, partially pay the invoice and then enter the remainder as a payment on account.

	1. Enter the amount of the partial payment in the Amount field.
	2. Select New Transaction and then Add.
	3. Select Payment on Account andthen Add. Select Match.

• Bank fees. Sometimes a bank payment or receipt may include charges. For example, if it's been converted from another currency. Change the payment amount to match the invoice amount and then select Make Adjustment.

	1. Select Make Adjustment.		2. Enter the details for the bank charges and then select Add and then select Match.

Note: The net status A bank transaction's net status determines its display in your feed. If a transaction, for example an outgoing payment, is the result of a payment for one invoice and a credit for another, then this will not show up in the list as a credit. If the rolled-up bank transaction is of this type, you should record a separate transaction for each element, and then discard the rolled up transaction to have each element show up on its own.

You cannot create a new refund from a bank feed.

If your refund is being used to pay a credit note, then match it to the credit note that it's paying.

For refunds that are not matched to credit notes, discard the transaction from your bank feed, then manually create the refund.

Use this to record money in or money out that is not being used to pay an invoice. Just

1. Select the relevant Ledger Account from the What drop down list

Split transactions.

Use this when single payment needs to be split over several ledger accounts or has different VAT rates. You might have a single expense payment that covers petrol and office sundries for example.

If you use transaction analysis types, you can also select different categories for department, cost centre, and project. Select Split to expand the transaction and then create a new line for each nominal account or VAT rate and amount. Make sure all of the lines add up and then select Create.

Use this when transferring money between bank accounts. This creates a transaction in both bank accounts. If both bank accounts use bank feeds, you'll need to discard or match the imported transaction from the other bank account.

1. Select Transfer.
2. Choose the bank account to Transfer to or Transfer from.
3. Select Transfer.

If you have transactions you don't want, you can delete them. You may need to do this if you have bank transfers or transactions you've already imported or reconciled.

Select the transaction (or transactions) you want to delete and then select Delete.
