Point of sale systems make it all happen, linking hardware, such as a cash register or credit card reader, with software that will process credit and debit card payments managing inventory tracking sales data, and collecting customer information. Usually, it involves an exchange of money, whether cash, check, or credit card for merchandise or a service. These tools can be especially useful if you are adding several months of transactions in one sitting.Point of sale apps (POS) are the place in a store or elsewhere where the actual business transaction takes place. Use your shift key to select multiple transactions at once.Īdditionally, use Batch Actions> Accept Selected to add transactions in batch, instead of accepting each transaction individually. You can use Batch Actions> Modify Selected to assign the payee, category and other details in batch to like-transactions. Tip #5: Utilize Batch Actions to Save Time Adding Like-Transactions A special “Uncategorized” rule is saved in QuickBooks and “Uncategorized Expense” or “Uncategorized Income” will appear going forward (unless QuickBooks finds a match, or a different rule is applied). “Leave Uncategorized” allows you to indicate what category to use each time you add a transaction fitting that description. In this case, after choosing the category, click “Edit this Setting” and check the box to leave the transaction Uncategorized from now on. However, for some transactions, you may not want QuickBooks to suggest the category going forward. Most of the time, this will save you time working in the bank feed in the future.

The Bank Detail tends to share more information than the “cleaned up” QuickBooks Description, and having these details in the memo field may be helpful during reconciliation. “Copy Bank Detail to Memo” is turned on by default and I recommend leaving it on.

“Editable Date Field” allows you to change the date of transactions from the bank. Under the small gear, you’ll find options to configure the bank feed settings.Īdd/remove payee and check number columns to make sure you are capturing the necessary details as you add transactions.
