Use the audit log to re-enter deleted transactions in QuickBooks Online

by Intuit•122• Updated about 6 hours ago

Once a transaction is deleted in QuickBooks Online, it can't be restored. However, you can use the Audit Log to find the details of the deleted transaction and re-enter it manually.

Here is how to locate the details of a deleted transaction using the Audit Log:

  1. Go to Settings Settings gear icon..
  2. Select Audit Log.
  3. From the Filter â–Ľ dropdown menu, select the appropriate user, date, and event(s).
  4. Select Apply.
  5. Locate the deleted transaction. (Tip: To easily find deleted transactions, use the browser search Ctrl + F and type "deleted").
  6. Under the History column, select View.
  7. All the information needed for the transaction can be found under the Event column.
  8. Using the information from the Audit log, you can re-enter the transaction with its original transaction date.
Note:
  • Audit Log only works for transactions that were saved. There is no available report for deleted transactions. Consider voiding a transaction instead of deleting or completely removing it from your records.

Now you’re able to use the Audit Log to re-enter deleted transactions.
