Where do I find Memorized Transactions in the online version of Quickbooks?

Hi there, scott10. 

Good to see you here in QuickBooks Community. Allow me to help and addressed your concern about Memorized Transaction in QuickBooks Onine (QBO). 

The memorized transaction is only available in QuickBooks Desktop. However, if you're using QBO Essentials and Plus, you have  the option to set recurring transactions for customers and vendors (such as checks, bills, invoices, sales receipts, estimates, etc). 

To create a recurring template, here's how: 

1. Select the Gear Icon. 
2. Under Lists, select Recurring Transactions.
3. Click New. 
4. Select the type of transaction to create, and select OK.
5. Enter a Template name. 
6. Choose a Type — Scheduled, unscheduled or reminder.
7. Enter the necessary information.
8. Once done, select Save Template. 

For additional reference, you can check this article for the details on how to create templates for recurring transactions.

That's it! Please know that I'm just a post away if you have any other concerns about recurring transaction on QBO. I'm always here to help you out. 

I was really hoping memorized sales receipts were in QBO.

I'm recording sales receipts for a monthly subscription service.  New clients appear each month and existing clients also drop the service.  Over time, the memorized transaction approach will result in a bunch of sales receipts generated for clients that have dropped the service. 

The ideal scenario for me would be:

1) I see a payment has arrived via the feed from the bank.

2) I enter the name of the client in the sales receipt field and all the other information is auto-filled.

Any suggestions?

Nice to have you in the Community, EdStanfield.

It is absolutely ridiculous that Quickbooks online basic version does not have a simple feature such as memorized transactions. They are very helpful for a small business.

I AGREE!!  Seriously no memorized transactions??

This is exactly why I prefer desktop!  They don't give you basic things in the basic level of QBO.  Very frustrating.

I'm about ready to scrap this qb crap.  I specifically told the woman on the phone that I needed the memorized transaction list most of all.  But she still sold me the simple plan.  Then I spent almost 3hr trying to shrink the file to merge from desktop to online it was only supposed to merge data from January forward well its all still there complete waste of time and money

12mths desktop had everything 380 dollars 12mths of simple that doesn't have what you need 380$ essential is almost 600$ a yr. Talk about a scam
