Searching chart of accounts

@Downaqt 

The search box in the chart of accounts is to allow you to search for a specific GL account.  It is not really designed to allow you to find a specific customer transaction.  To find specific customer deposits, go to Reports > Transaction List by Customer > Click Filter > Under the Filter drop-down, select Transaction type equals deposits > Add another filter if you want to filter by Customer name.   

Thanks for reaching out to us, @Downaqt. Let me step in and share additional information about searching for split deposits in your Chart of Accounts in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

Yes, Rainflurry is right. The search field in your Chart of Accounts is designed to locate a specific general ledger account by Name or Number. To search for a transaction, you can utilize the global search located beside the Help icon. 

You can also run a report to view your split deposits. To do that, go to Reports and search for the Transaction List with Splits report. You may also customize it to show only the necessary information.

Additionally, you may want to import a spreadsheet of your existing or custom accounts into QBO to avoid manually entering them. 

Feel free to visit us again whenever you have further queries concerning your Chart of Accounts. I'll be more than glad to help. Take care, and have a good one.

I tried the method of search transaction with splits. Filtered the whole year and put in a customer name as well. Still does not show the deposited check that was part of a split deposit. 

Allow me to dive into this thread to assist you, @Downaqt. I'll provide details about accessing transactions with split reports in QuickBooks Online.

The entire deposit amount will show when using the advanced search. To make things more precise, I recommend running a Transaction Detail by Account Report so you can see the transactions with split deposits.

Here's how:

1. Go to Reports. 
2. Type Transaction Detail by Account Report.
3. Switch to the Classic View.
4. At the upper right corner, select Customize.
5. Under the Row/Columns, choose Change columns.
6. Select and reorder columns. Remember to tick the Split box to mark it as a check.
7. Then, Run Report.

This will show all the affected accounts or details of the deposit instead of showing it as a "split."
