Why did System Administration delete a payroll deposit?

There are multiple reasons why System Administration might make changes to your account, Marsha. I'll provide more details on this below.

 

System Administration activities in QuickBooks can occur for several reasons, including:

 

  • Changes to one record can affect another. For instance, editing a payment and linking it to a different invoice might register as a change to the original invoice.
  • Connecting apps to QuickBooks can result in alterations. When these apps send or modify data in QuickBooks, it appears as a System Administration event.
  • Creating recurring transactions, such as recurring expenses, triggers System Administration events once QuickBooks processes these automatically.
  • Setting up automatic events, such as bank feed updates, can create System Administration events even when not actively logged in.
