You did a fantastic job, @sharonmcnulty.
The account history and view account register is the same.
Users using the International version of QuickBooks like UK, Singapore, South Africa, and the rest of the regions will see the account history while you'll see the view register when you're using the US account.
If you're using the International version and posted a query to a US region, you'll get US-based answers. The steps are the same from other regions while we're using different terminologies.
Since you've mentioned that the view register/account history button is missing, I suggest signing-out and signing in back to your account.
If the issue persists, I recommend using an incognito/private browser. Private browsing mode prevents using internet files from making QuickBooks' functions missing.
Open a supported browser and use the hotkey for the specific browser:
If this fixes the issue, clear your regular browser's cache. It helps load new cache data that can help boost the browser's performance.
Otherwise, open QBO to another supported browser.
To review bank and credit card transactions after you download them into QuickBooks Online, you can refer to this video article: Match and categorize bank transactions in QuickBooks Online.
Please let me know what QuickBooks version you are currently using so that I can help you provide the QuickBooks support page region.
Please leave a reply to this thread if you have further questions. I'm happy to help. Have a good one!
Hi @sharonmcnulty,
When you've already started using a bank account without entering an opening balance amount, it's still possible to enter it later on.
You can proceed with posting a customer payment, and when you're ready, create a journal entry to record the opening balance.
Here's how:
If you have other questions with this process, it's explained in full in this article: What to do if you didn't enter an opening balance in QuickBooks Online. You'll see the whole process is divided into 3 sets of steps, as well as screenshots for your reference.
Feel free to post a reply below, in case you have other questions. I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
Sorry my query actually is, how do I post the payments (Supplier & customer) as I cannot allocate them due to opening balances not being transferred yet?
Hello again, @sharonmcnulty. Thanks for your prompt response.
As mentioned by my colleague @Ryan_M, you can create a Journal entry to record the opening balance. But before doing so, I recommend consulting with your accountant so they can guide you on what's the best thing to do.
Additionally, I want you to get the most out of QuickBooks for your business. You can check some articles that are designed to help you get acclimated with the software. They can be accessed at the following link: QuickBooks Tutorials.
If there's anything else I can do for you, let me know by commenting below. I'd be happy to further assist you. Have a great day.
Hi @MirriamM & @Ryan_M apologies I am obviously not being clear with my query.
My query is not about recording the opening balances. I cannot do this until our audit is complete next month.
My query relates to how to record payments to suppliers & from customers? At the moment many of the payments going through my bank account relate to invoices from 2019 that are currently not in Quick books so I want to know how to post payments on account?
I have manually imported my bank transactions and now need to record them in the relevant supplier & customer accounts. Most will be "on account" as I cannot allocate them against the relevant invoices until I post the opening balances after our audit.
You may have 4 different transaction types to be imported:
1. Bills
2. Bill-Payments
3. Invoices
4. Receive-Payments
Prepare your data transactions in XLS/CSV and utilize the 3rd party tool to import those data

Hope it helps.
@Fiat Lux - ASIA I am so confused! I have imported my transactions already.
My only query is how to record the payments made & received (which I already have in my bank account on Quick Books) on the Supplier & Customer accounts? Many of these payments need to be payments on account as I cannot allocate them yest due to my opening balances not confirmed by our auditors.
Thanks.
Hi there, sharonmcnulty,
I'm here to help post payments from customers and to suppliers in QuickBooks Online (QBO).
You can add those payments to the desired bank account in QBO. They become customer deposits and supplier expenses in the register.
I'm glad to guide you through the steps:
Once invoices are entered in QuickBooks, you'll link them with deposits, as well as bills with expenses.
Should you need anything else, feel free to leave a comment below. I'm always around to help you out.
Hi @MaryLandT Many thanks for your help. I am now in the review tab for a customer deposit. Can I split the category for a deposit as it relates to two different income types?
@MaryLandT Also I do not have the option: Go to register, only go to account history?
Thank you for the quick reply, @sharonmcnulty.
Yes, you can split the category with different accounts, also the amounts. Let me guide you how:
For the detailed guide about the process, check out this article: Enter a split transaction into the register.
Let me know if you have follow-up questions. I'm always here to help.
Hi @Michelle_b thanks for your response. That works. The only problem I have is when I go to chart of accounts, I don't have a view register button. Maybe I am missing something in my set-up as I cannot see it?
