Why did Memorized Transactions not auto enter?

I can help you sort this out, @aquaclear.

We can try to delete and recreate the memorized transaction and make sure to enter the necessary information. Here's the article: Create, edit, or delete memorized transactions.

However, if the same thing happens, I'd recommend repairing your software. Before doing so, make sure to create a backup copy of your company file.

Here's how:

1. Restart your computer to close unnecessary programs interfering with QuickBooks.
2. Click the Start menu, and then search the Control Panel.
3. Select Programs and Features and then Uninstall a Program.
4. From the list of Programs, click QuickBooks and then Uninstall/Change.
5. Select Continue, then Next.
6. Click Repair, and then Next. Wait for the Repair to complete.
7. Click Finish. Then, restart your computer if prompted.

Once done, update QuickBooks to the latest release. This is to make sure you have the most recent fixes and security updates.

I've also shared this article on how to memorize a report if you'll change the settings and save it in the Memorized Report List: Memorize a report.

Do I really have to go through all this?  Everything worked fine last month(first time after setting it up)

Couldn't I just hit enter for each customer(62)?  And then next month it would resume normally?

I really don't want to lose anything at this point, I've got too much time into setting this all up as it is.

Thanks for your quick reply above.

I decided to try a restart.  So I saved my company file and restarted the computer. 

When it restarted a window popped up saying I had 62 to enter.  So I clicked to let them all enter.  At this point it looks like I'm back to normal, but will see next month.

Does that window always pop up and am I required to accept them all to be entered?  Maybe I clicked out of that window before thinking that they should enter automatically, but maybe that pop-up window is part of the automatic entering, and I will need to accept them all to being entered each month, via that pop-up window?

Allow me to add some information about the memorized transactions in QuickBooks Desktop, aquaclear.

Automate transactions are entered when it's due. Hence, always remember to fill in the How Often and Next Date fields when you choose this option.

The pop-up window will only show up once during the first attempt to memorize a transaction. If you wish to see the message, you'll need to reset your preferences.

Let me show you how:

1. Go to Edit, then Preferences.
2. Select General, then My Preferences.
3. Mark Bring back all one time message, then click OK.

I had the same problem. I just restarted the program and the "Enter Memorized Transactions" window that usually pops up on opening showed up with all due transactions checked. I hit enter and it was all done. It is possible that I missed these for the first of the month because other first of the month transaction are scheduled to be entered 10 days before the first, and I kept the computer and the program running from before the first till now (third) and the window didn't pop up. Good luck,

MaryLandT says "Automate transactions are entered when it's due" but my experience is that the window that asks if you want to enter memorized transactions pops up ONLY when restarting QB. I would expect QB to enter then automagically on the date specified, but QB doesn't seem to do that. Maybe there's a button to push every day to force automatic entries? 

I recognize how important it is to flawlessly set up automatic entries in QuickBooks, radiodave18. I'd be delighted to share the process to do this.

We'll have to edit your memorized transactions and select the  Automate Transaction Entry option. This way, QuickBooks will create your entries automatically.

Here's how:

1. Go to the Lists menu and then select Memorized Transactions Lists.
2. Choose one memorized transaction.
3. On the Memorized Transaction button, choose Edit Memorized Transaction.
4. Choose Automate Transaction Entry.
5. Fill in the details on the How Often and Next Date fields.
6. Once done, click OK.

Additionally, I've included an article that'll help you memorize reports in QuickBooks. This helps you save the current customized settings. I'd suggest checking this article to learn how: Create, Access, and Modify Memorized Reports.

I'm only a few clicks away if you need assistance managing your automated entries, radiodave18. It's always my pleasure to help you out again.

The correct answer is, they are never automatically entered.  You still have to individually approve them, or close then open the program then a window will pop up saying would you like to enter all of these.  Its maddening getting a straight answer from QB.
