Some Bank Detail is Missing from Memo/Description after adding Bank Transaction

Hello there, BENT2707.

It could be the Show bank details option on the Banking page is unchecked. That's why some information is missing.

Let me guide you with these steps:

Here's how:

1. From the Banking tab, select Banking.

2. Click the Gear icon located on the banking page.

3. Put a checkmark in the Show bank details box.

Afterward, you're good to categorize the transactions. I've added this reference for the detailed steps of the process:

Keep me posted whenever you have concerns in categorizing the items. I'll be happy to help you! 

It's not unchecked, and it shows on the banking/transaction review page. It's AFTER I add the transaction that I need the bank detail the most, but the beginning of the bank text drops off the transaction when I add the transaction. I need that bank detail to stay with the transaction.

Let's get this working so you don't have to manually add the banking details, BENT2707.

I matched a couple of transactions in my Online Banking to test. I also used the Add function and checked if they have the same results.

All the details in the Memo field are automatically copied in both Memo and Description fields once the transaction is added in the bank register. Although, location and tags will not copy over.

A possible browser issues might have prevented the memo or banking details to be copied to the added transaction. Have you tried using a different browser? You can also switch to incognito or private session to check if that's the cause of the issue.

If not, use these keyboard shortcuts to start an incognito or private browsing session: 

• Ctrl + Shift + N  for Google Chrome
• Ctrl + Shift + P for Firefox
• Control + Option +P if you're using Safari
• Ctrl + Shift + P for Microsoft Edge

After logging back in, go back to the Banking page. Then, check if the bank details are saving in the Memo or Description fields. 

If they're showing up, go back to the regular browsing session and delete your temporary internet files. Here's an article as a guide: Clear Cache And Cookies To Fix Issues When Using QuickBooks Online.

I'm not MATCHing the item. I've always known that the bank detail doesn't carry to the memo or description on those, because the expense transaction I previously, manually created trumps what I MATCH to it.

I am ADDing the transaction. Some of the bank information does carry through onto the transaction after it's added (otherwise the transaction would be blank -and it's not). Only a part of the bank detail is dropping when I ADD the transaction, and it's the part I need.
