Names not showing on collections report

Welcome to the QuickBooks Community, BigDenver. Since you are missing names on the report, I recommend that you run the verify and rebuild data tool to see if there is any data issue within your company file and correct this problem. The first step would be to run the verify tool. Here's how:

1. Go to the File menu and click it.
2. Select Utilities, then Verify Data.
3. Once this tool run and you received any messages outside of "QuickBooks detected no problems with your data," no further action is needed.", the next step would be to run the rebuild tool. 
4. Go back to the File menu, choose Utilities, then Rebuild.
5. You will receive a message about backing up your company file. Choose a location and select OK once finished.
6. The Rebuild Data utility will begin as soon as the backup is finished.
7. Click OK when you get the message "Rebuild has completed."

Depending on the size of your company file, it may take a few minutes for the process to start. However, when the rebuild tool is completed, run the Verify tool once more to check for the remaining data damage. Once you received that message as stated above, the company file is good to go.

From here, run the collection report and verify that the information that is needed is there. If you have any questions on reports, please don't hesitate to let me know. Simply @ or mention my name below. I will be looking out for your response. Until then, take care and be safe.

Hello and thank you for the response.  I followed these instructions and no errors were found.  I backed up and performed the rebuild with no errors.  Second verification after rebuild showed no errors.

The problem with the report remains, however.  Still no contact names for any newer clients.  All other data (business name, invoice numbers, amounts, phone number, etc.) is still showing, just no contact name.

Not sure my last reply posted.  I went through all of this with no errors.  The problem remains where no contact name will show on the collections report.

All other detail is there, including business name, invoices, amounts, phone number, etc.  It is just missing the contact name and only for newer customers.
