Memo is no longer populating with the Bank detail

When using QBO the bank detail previously imported into the memo field.  Starting this week the process only imports the last part of the bank detail into the memo field. Now I have to manually enter the information in the memo field.   QBO.jpg

Memo is no longer populating with the Bank detail

Thanks for raising your concern here, @VTOH. We'll gladly help you enter the bank details in the memo field.

 

On the Banking section, there's an icon that you can click where the Copy bank detail to memo option is there. Let's ensure that it has a checkmark. Here's how: 

 

  1. From the Banking section, choose Banking.
  2. Click the Gear icon on the lower right.
  3. Scroll down and ensure the Copy bank detail to memo field is checked. If not, tick the box beside it

 

However, if the field is checked, we recommend contacting your bank. Please know that QuickBooks will depend on the details provided by your bank, and reaching out to them is our best resort to clear things up if there are changes.

 Additionally, we have articles here that can help you manage your banking transactions:

Memo is no longer populating with the Bank detail

The setting states that it will copy the bank detail into the memo field.  that is not happening.  If you look at my screen shot you can see that the bank provided all of the details i need in the feed.  The system is no longer copying the data into the memo.

Memo is no longer populating with the Bank detail

Hello there, @VTOH.

 

My colleague Bryan_M provided the steps to set the Memo to populate bank details.

 

Have you tried the resolution provided? I hope his response resolves your issue.

 

If you have tried the above mentioned and have the same issue, I recommend contacting your bank. You can ask if there are any updates about the details they can share with QuickBooks. You can also ask if there are changes with some formats since QuickBooks depends on the information you bank shares.

 

For future reference, I'm adding this article about categorizing transactions in QuickBooks Online: Categorize online bank transactions in QuickBooks Online.

 

Let me know if you need further assistance with your transactions. I'm always here to help. Have a great day.

I am having the same issue and similar to the OP, the option is already selected to copy the bank detail to the memo line so that is not the solution.

Memo is no longer populating with the Bank detail

Hello, coastalbookkeeping and VincentOH.

 

Thank you for reaching out to the Community. QuickBooks will only depend on how the bank transfers the data during transaction downloads. The bank has full control over deciding how information is sent and received by QuickBooks Online and determining the methods used to transfer data. 

 

Also, at this moment, QuickBooks Online has transitioned to using OAuth for online bank connections. This change enhances security by eliminating the need for users to share their banking credentials with QuickBooks Online. 

 

By adopting OAuth, QuickBooks Online ensures a more secure and standardized approach to connecting with online banking systems. This change enhances security and simplifies the connection process for users, as they no longer need to share sensitive information directly with QuickBooks Online. 

 

Can you please provide me with the bank name you are currently using? Because the OAuth and the availability of online bank connections may vary depending on the country and the financial institutions supported by QuickBooks Online. 

 

I'm also adding these articles to learn how to review your downloaded entries and reconcile your accounts:

 

 

Please leave a comment below if you have additional questions about this or anything else. I'll be more than happy to answer them. Keep safe.

I would like to disagree. The information is provided in the bank feed.  You can see the data in the screen shot below. This is for American Express.

Hi VTOH,

 

Thank you for providing a screenshot. I can see that only a portion of the Bank Detail is being copied into the Memo field, which is not the expected behavior.

 

Please know that we have an ongoing investigation about this matter. I recommend contacting our QBO customer support specialist so they can get your account details in a more secure environment and link it to the open ticket.

 

  1. Go to the Help menu.
  2. Choose the Search tab.
  3. Click the Contact Us button at the bottom.
  4. Enter a summary of the issue: Only a portion of the Banking Detail is copied into the Memo field in bank transactions. AMEX account. Ticket#: INV-91350.
  5. Click Continue and choose Chat or Callback.

 

If you have any other concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out. Rest assured, the Community team remains available in this thread to provide continuous assistance. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we are committed to resolving this matter promptly.

Memo is no longer populating with the Bank detail

I am also having the same issue and contacted QBO, they did not understand the issue.  Mine seems to be with AMEX only.  Please get this corrected.  The information is in the bank feed under transactions and my field "copy to memo" is checked off.  It is clearly there in Qbooks, but no longer transfers into the memo field.  This is extremely frustrating.  I just spent the last 3 hours manually entering memo items that should have already been in the system.

Memo is no longer populating with the Bank detail

I was having the same problem with my Amex feed. After unchecking the "Copy bank detail to memo"   box, I navigated to a different bank feed and then checked the box again. I then returned to my Amex Feed and the bank details are now populating in the memo field!

Nancy,

Mine is also only with Amex.  I called today and gave them the INV number in the directions above.  they now agree it is under investigation.   If you give them the number they can link your account to the case and you should get updates.

OK so it was working.. As soon as I applied a date filter or used the search function within the feed, it stopped working.

I am having the exact same issue! Amex only. Just started this week.

This definitely seems like a QBO glitch that they need to get figured out rather than having everyone contact Amex.

Memo is no longer populating with the Bank detail

Hi Nancy,

 

Thank you for keeping in touch regarding your banking concern. Allow me to chime in and provide clarification about the AMEX issue in QuickBooks Online.

 

The investigation number provided by the representative applies only to users having issues with the Memo field in the Sales section of QuickBooks. It doesn't include the problem with the bank detail not copying to the Memo field in bank feeds.

 

I've checked on my end and found an open investigation (INV-91350) specific to AMEX users. Our product engineers are already aware of the issue with the American Express Complete bank detail not copying to the Memo field when "Copy bank detail to the memo" is checked.

 

For now, a workaround for the bank issue is unavailable. Rest assured, our dedicated team is working diligently to get you back on track.

 

As we assess this, I'd suggest contacting our Customer Care Team again. They can add your company to the list of affected users to keep you in the loop about the investigation's status and its fix. 

 

Our support for Plus, Essentials, and Simple Start is available from 6 AM - 6 PM PT (Monday - Friday) and 6 AM - 3 PM PT (Saturday). For Advanced, any time, any day.

 

Here's how you can reach them:

 

  1. Click the Help tab in the upper-right corner.
  2. Go to the Assistant tab.
  3. Click Get help from a human.
  4. Choose Chat with us or Have us call you.

Is there a resolution to this issue yet?

Memo is no longer populating with the Bank detail

Thank you for getting back to us, @CompleteBalanceCPA.

 

The investigation of this issue is already resolved, and closed.

 

If you have the same error, I recommend clearing your browser's cache to isolate the issue.

 

The stored files in your browser are typically the source of unexpected behavior or failures in QBO. Your cache saves the files from many websites you visit, so you can quickly load the pages the following time. The browsing speed of websites like QBO, may be impacted if the cache is retaining too much data.

 

It's a good idea to check for issues brought on by a full cache when browsing anonymously because doing so prevents the cache from recording your browsing data.

 

  • Chrome: Press Ctrl + Shift + N
  • Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox: Press Ctrl + Shift + P
  • Safari: Press Command + Shift + N

If the steps above will not work, you can use supported browsers as an alternative.

 

If the given procedures are successful, I advise you to clear the cache in your browser to avoid utilizing outdated forms, safeguard your data, and improve the performance of our programs on your computer.

 

 

Once done and the issue persists, you can reach our Customer Support team to investigate further about the Memo no longer populating.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Click the Help menu in the upper-right-hand corner.
  2. Type in Talk to a human, then press Enter.
  3. Look for I still need a human and click on it.
  4. Click Get help from a human or Contact Support Team.
  5. Select between Send a messageSchedule an appointment, or Get a callback.

Bank details are there,  Copy bank detail to memo is checked.   Notice answer is to get bank to provide details.   Bank provided details are there the same as always.   But quickbooks seems to have issue.
