Printing reports without current date printed on the report as the print date

You should be able to modify the report so it doesn't print date and time of printing.  I have QB Enterprise. What I just did was:

Generate Report

Click "Customize Report" tab

Click "Header/Footer" tab

Unclick "Date Prepared" and "Time Prepared" so that they will not show up on report

Click "OK" button

Now, go ahead and preview the report, the date and time should no longer appear.

Print your report.

That's how it worked for me.

Thanks JM_hollings Level 2, I believe it apllies to most of the reports, do you think of a way to apply it to bank reconciliation as well?

Not for bank reconciliations :(

Printing reports without current date printed on the report as the print date

Hello there, @Kooroomboo.

 

We cannot customize a reconciliation report, but I want you to know that your voice matter to us. Rest assured that this will be forwarded to our product engineers to have this option in QuickBooks Online.

 

If you wanted to change or undo a reconciliation, you can manually unreconcile each transaction.

 

Here’s how.

 

  1. Click Accounting, then go to Chart of Accounts.
  2. Choose the bank account, then click View register.
  3. Look for the transaction.
  4. In the reconcile status column, choose the top line repeatedly to change the status - Cleared, - Reconciled, and Blank - Not cleared or reconciled.

 

Please know that you need to consult your accountant so you’ll be guided with the process.

 

Also, let me leave you an article that will help you if you need some information or procedure while using QuickBooks Online. Help article.

 

Please let me know if you have any other questions. I am here to help. Keep safe!

Printing reports without current date printed on the report as the print date

How do you make it default to not show the date and time generated?

Printing reports without current date printed on the report as the print date

Let's explore how you can tidy up your report prints by omitting the print date in QuickBooks Online, Countertop1.

 

QuickBooks Online doesn't have a feature that allows you to set all reports to exclude the date and time by default. I understand how beneficial such a feature would be for users looking to streamline their reporting processes. We encourage you to share your thoughts and suggestions with our product engineers to help us improve.

 

In the mean time, a practical workaround to achieve the desired outcome for individual reports is to use the Memorize feature.

 

This feature lets you customize a report exactly how you need it and save these settings for future use.

 

Here's how you can utilize this feature:

 

  1. Go to the Reports menu and select the desired report, such as the General Ledger.
  2. Click the Customize button. 
  3. Navigate to the Header/Footer section and uncheck the Date Prepared and Time Prepared.
  4. After customizing the report, click on Save customization at the top of the report.
  5. Enter a name for your customized report and click Save.

 

Now, whenever you need to print this report without the date and time, you can go to the Custom Reports section under the Reports menu and select the memorized report.
