I recently ran a montly profit and loss detailed report. The memo information on a few of the lines of the report are not what is entered into the ledger for those entries. Any idea why this would occur? Any idea how to correct?

The memos should exist somewhere on the transaction, I'd think.

If not, are you using the item memo field? If so, then I think it gets the memo from the item used on the transaction, not the transaction.

The problem is specifically with deposits. I enter them in the register with the invoice number in the memo field. However when I run the profit and loss report some of the entries have something different than the invoice number in that field. It seems to be with a few companies that are vendors and also customers. But it only happens with a few of them not all.

To see what's actually recorded on the transaction, open the deposit in the deposit window.

Generally, some reports will copy the source memo to the detail rows unless there is something else entered there, and then that's what you'll see. Could that be what's happening?
