4. Review transactions under the “For Review” tab. You will see a list of all your account transactions that have been uploaded. 

5. QuickBooks will automatically attempt to find potential matches against open bills and expenses that were uploaded as bills. Look for suggested matches highlighted in the list.

6. Click on a transaction row to review the suggested match. QuickBooks will display details about the bill or expense it believes corresponds to the cash transaction.

7. If the match appears correct, simply click the “Match” button to confirm the association between the cash transaction and the bill/expense.
