I entered and then deleted a bill dated in a prior GST/QST period before filing. The exception report now only shows a deficit, not an offsetting entry. Is this a bug?

I am experiencing an issue with the GST/QST Exception Report in QuickBooks Online Canada: Situation: I entered a bill dated in a previous GST/QST filing period. Before submitting the next return, I deleted that same bill. According to my understanding, the exception report should show both the initial addition (as a positive) and the deletion (as a negative), effectively netting to zero, since both events happened before the next filing. Problem: The Exception Report currently only shows a deficit (a negative amount) for this transaction, instead of a plus and a minus that would cancel each other out. I have confirmed that the bill was deleted prior to the upcoming GST/QST filing and that both the original bill and deletion are for the same date and amount. Refreshing or clearing the cache has not resolved the issue. Request: Could you please review my account and clarify whether this is expected behaviour, or if there is a bug causing the Exception Report to reflect only the deletion without the matching initial entry? If this is a known issue, is there a workaround or update planned?

Hi, Naftali2.

I understand how concerning it can be to see an inconsistency in your GST/QST Exception Report, especially after carefully reviewing and deleting the transaction to ensure accuracy. I appreciate the steps you’ve already taken to troubleshoot this issue.

Since you’re certain that you’ve deleted the correct bill and have already tried some initial troubleshooting, I recommend contacting our Technical Live Support Team. They’ll be able to review your account and examine why the GST/QST Exception Report is only showing a deficit without the matching offsetting entry.

Here's how to contact:

1. Click the Help menu or the (?) icon in the upper-right corner of QBO.
2. Go to the Assistant tab.
3. Type "contact support" in the chat box and press Enter.
