Write checks entry screen not operating correctly

Today we discovered this is also happening in "Enter Bills".  Also, it's asking us to "Class" the expense lines even though those data fields are filled.

Write checks entry screen not operating correctly

Thanks for getting involved with this thread, Krista42. I appreciate your detailed information.

 

Since you're encountering the same issue on your Enter Bills screen, and you're being asked to assign a class to expense lines when you've already done so, I'd initially recommend confirming your product is up-to-date with its latest release.

 

If the problem continues while you're on your product's latest release, you can use the Verify Data utility. It identifies known issues within company files and informs users if their Rebuild Data tool needs to be utilized afterwards.

 

Here's how it's used:

 

  1. Click Window, then Close All.
  2. In your top menu bar, go to File.
  3. Choose Utilities.
  4. Select Verify Data.

 

In the event its results show a "Your data has lost integrity," message, this indicates there's damage in your file. You can use the Rebuild Data utility to fix it. For specific errors, there may already be a resource for them on our support site.

 

If it displays a "QuickBooks detected no problems with your data," notification, or you've searched our help articles and didn't find any existing resources about the specific error it displayed, you can move on to troubleshooting with our QuickBooks Tool Hub.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Close QuickBooks and download a copy of the utility's most recent version, then run it.
  2. Follow along with your on-screen steps to complete installation and agree with our terms and conditions.
  3. Once it's installed, double-click its icon to open the tool hub. If you can't find your app, perform a search in Windows for "QuickBooks Tool Hub" and select the program.
  4. Access your Company File Issues tab and use the Quick Fix my file and QuickBooks File Doctor tools to troubleshoot your company file. In the event you need additional assistance, choose File Dr Help.

 

If none of our recommended troubleshooting solved the issues you're encountering, you'll want to get in touch with our Customer Care team and reference our ongoing investigation (INV-93725) into the Write checks screen not functioning properly. They'll be able to conduct further research with you and either add you as an affected user to the existing investigation, or create a new one if necessary. In the event your account is added to an investigation, you'll be notified about any updates relating to it through email.

 

I'll be here to help if there's any additional questions. Have an awesome day!

Write checks entry screen not operating correctly

I am having the same issue with entering vendor bills. The first expense line is not displayed on the screen. My first fix was to save it, then reopen the bill. Then the expense line was displayed and I could adjust from there. I discovered that a better work around was to click on the items tab and then click back to the expense tab and the line is now displayed. This bug is also showing up when entering credit card expenses. Running the software update does not seem to fix this problem, so until QB fixes it, we need a work around. BTW I am running QuickBooks desktop 2021.

Thank you for sharing your experience, @Brian246.

 

Are you referring to writing checks or creating credit card charges? If so, there's an ongoing issue wherein the top section and the bottom section of check match, however the balance on the expenses tab seems to be doubling what we see at the top and the bottom.

 

Our Product Engineering team is already aware of this and is now working for a fix. In the meantime, I suggest contacting our Customer Support Team, so you'll be added to the list of affected users and receive an email notification once we resolve the issue. 

 

You can reach our Customer Support for QBDT by going to the Help menu at the top right of the account. Then, let them add you to Investigation No. 93725.

 

Follow the steps below on how to reach them:

 

  1. From your QuickBooks Desktop account, click the Help menu at the top.
  2. Select QuickBooks Desktop Help.
  3. Provide some information about this concern in the search box.
  4. Click the Contact Us link at the bottom of the window.
  5. You'll now be provided with a few support options.

 

You can check this article for more information about the different types of support we offer and their availability: Contact QuickBooks Desktop support.

 

In the meantime, you can try to toggle back and forth between the Expenses and Items tab to force the Expenses tab to equal the total of the check. You can also try to avoid entering anything on the top check portion. Instead, start you data entry below at the line item.

 

Once resolved, you can now create, modify, and print checks. It'll guide you with printing the check register and many more.

 

Let me know if you need further help writing a check or anything else. I'm always here to assist. Have a great rest of the day!

Hi there, BFLLC.

 

Thanks for joining this conversation.

 

Currently, the investigation is still in progress. Our product engineers are diligently working to resolve the issue with writing checks in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) at the earliest opportunity.

 

As you have already contacted our Support team, you have now been added to our notification list. This will assist our engineers in evaluating the extent of the impact on users.

 

For now, you can try entering the details on the bottom table first before entering the payee and amount of the check as a workaround.

 

I'm also adding this article that tackles managing checks in QBDT for future reference: Create, modify, and print checks.

 

Please let me know if you have additional questions about this or anything else. I'm more than willing to assist. Take care.
