Seeing a deleted transactions previous categorization

Hi,

I was in the process of reconciling an account and noticed that five transactions from a previous period have been accidentally deleted.

Is there a way to retrieve the details of these transactions and see how they were previously categorized?

Thank you.

Seeing a deleted transactions previous categorization

You can use the Audit log to recover the details of the deleted transactions so you can re-enter them, @franky5. I'll be happy to guide you with the steps below.

Beforehand, make sure to sign in as an admin to access the Audit log.

Here's how to locate and re-enter deleted transactions:
 

  1. Go to the Gear icon and select Audit Log.
  2. From the Filter dropdown menu, select the appropriate user, date, and event(s).
  3. Select Apply.
  4. Find the deleted transaction.
  5. Once you've located the deleted item, select View under the History column
  6. You'll see all the information needed for the transaction under the Event column.
  7. Use that details to re-enter the transaction with its original date.
     

After that, manually reconcile the transaction by going to your account register.
 

  1. Go to Transactions and select Chart of accounts.
  2. Locate the account that you put the transaction into and select Account history.
  3. Find the transaction and select it to expand the view.
  4. Select the box in the tick column until you see an R to manually reconciles the transaction.
  5. Click Save.
