I can help you get this sorted out,ChristineD65.

We can only match a downloaded transaction to a single one in QuickBooks Online. If a payment was created, you may not need to create a Journal Entry. This is to avoid doubling your expenses and match the bank transaction to it.

Please double-check the both the payment and the journal entry, and remove the one that 's notneeded. Here's how:

1. Go to the Banking menu andselect Banking.
2. In the For Review tab, put a checkmark on the boxes for those duplicates.
3. Click on Exclude.

Transactions will then be moved to the Excluded tab.

That's it! If you have any other concerns or questions about banking,I'll be right here to keep helping.

Thank you for getting back and providing us with more information about this transaction that you're trying to match, @ChristineD65.

Here are the possible reasons why the journal entry won't match:

• The Journal Entry was recorded in a different bank account.
• The Journal Entry has been reconciled.
• The Journal Entry has been previously matched to another bank downloaded transaction.

Try to check again the date, amount, and category that you set for this manually added transaction to match it successfully.

Welcome back@ChristineD65,
