Autopopulate QB User ID on printed form - Who created sales order?

Welcome and thanks for posting in the Community, @dday-fts.

You can run the Audit Trail report in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT). You can customize and filter it to only show Sales Orders and the last user who modified it.

Here's how to pull it up:

1. In QBDT, go to the Reports menu at the top and choose Account & Taxes, then Audit Trail.
2. On the report screen, click Customize Report.
3. In the Display tab, place a checkmark on the Last modified by in the Columns section.
4. Now, go to the Filter tab and search for the Transaction type.
5. Pick Sales Order, then hit OK.
6. Enter your preferred date.

You can also go through this article that tackles managing and customizing reports in QBDT for future reference: Customize reports in QuickBooks Desktop.

Don't hesitate to leave a comment in this thread if you have any other questions or concerns. I'm more than willing to assist. Have a great day!

Thanks for the note, but I am in need of the data printed on the sales order, as the steps you noted are already known, but is too much work and not productive, and our internal process would benefit immensely from having the data on the printed sales order, and my users can not be trusted to put the data in themselves.

Can you advise if it is possible to auto-populate the user sign-in ID into a field on a form?

Thank you

Welcome back, @dday-fts.

At this time, the option to auto-populate a user's sign-in ID on a form isn't available in QuickBooks. Pulling up the Audit Trail report is the best way to verify who has the last user modified the transaction.
