ACH payment vs Bill/Reminders

Oct 06, 2011 1 Replies

Running Q2009 Have setup a ACH monthly payment for our son's college apartment. The rental company pulls the money from his checking acct, and we see the charge come thru via our Quicken download.



How do we set this up in the Bills / Reminder section so that we have an entry, but not a dup payment ?



I tried entering the transaction as EFT payment, but when the checking acct charge came thru it did not "match" as I was expecting like happens with "checks", since there is no real unique identifier like a check number, and it resulted in 2 payments.



So - with all these ACH type payments, how do you set them up in the Bill/Reminders ?


I have a similar EFT draft and I don't experience the symptoms you describe. In my case the amount of each transaction is the same every time.

In the Bill Reminder, How section, I've selected the Payment Method = "Manual Payment". In the Bill Reminder, When section, I configured it to "Automatically enter..." at my desired timing/frequency.

When the company drafts my account, the downloaded transaction "Matches", then I Accept it.
