    I got news for you, xeros bank reconciliation is absolutely Nothing like QBO. Not in any shape or form. Qbo has bank matching which is. Nothing at all like zero. Xero looks more professional with its bank match but it certainly is not the same. Compared to QBO bank reconciliation after bank match is easy. I'm only here because xero makes no sense with bank rec so I'm trying to figure it out.

    Xero's bank rec is perfectly fine, get used to the differences and you'll see we use MYOB, QBO and Xero and reconcile in all three there's just different pathways.

    If you're an employee being paid via payroll with wages YES. You'll need to register for PAYG with the ATO first or via your accountant, then tick the quarterly PAYG withheld option in Xero. If you're just drawing dividends/loans/directors fees then no that's outside of payroll and tax is paid at EOFY.

    I have one other question (sorry), when you're in the reconcile screen and there is a deposit (received) transaction, suppose that transaction is made up of 3-checks that were deposited. Is there a way to itemize all three of the checks for this one deposit (who they were from, what they were for and how much)? ie... Deposit made for 2,500.00 - consisted of 3 checks from customers 1- from Joe Smith for $1,000.00 - 1- from Bob Jones for $800.00 and 1-from Tim Hall for $700.00. How can I show who paid and to what account to post it to?

  • @TallBooks
    @TallBooks11 ай бұрын

    You'd need to raise three receive money's outside of the reconciliation screen, all dated for the same date and into the relevant account. That will allow you to them select each one using the match option when reconciling. If not needing contact for all and just a single contact, you can instead use create and then click add detail and put in three lines. For full detail I'd suggest raising a receive money x 3 by contact for the same date then matching them to the deposit in the bankfeed.@@KimJameson

I got as far as Account Cancelling section and promptly got cut off after 20 seconds twice. See, cancelling in action! Forget about lodging a complaint - not available on-line. Good way to avoid feedback if not able to give feedback in the first place. I hated using their program - really suited to accounts, not mere humans.

    It does, just use the top line and enter the total into that line instead of adding 50+ items. If you want to enter individual items then you need to itemise if you're not using inventory then don't both, copy description into first box and then total price is the total.
