QB for Mac is autofilling check numbers, can I stop it?

jasonhowie81 · ‎January 22, 2024

I'm running QB desktop for Mac 2020. I am having to manually input a lot of payments and I start by adjusting the date, then I hit the "tab" button to move to the next column which is "number/type" this is where QB decides to autofill a check number. In this case its 2600. IDK where that number comes from as my current check number is 1982, but that's beside the point. I'm not even writing a check, I'm entering a transaction and do not want it to keep assigning a check number. I know its petty, but I have to delete it for EVERY transaction. Is there a way to turn this off so that I can just hit "tab" and this column will remain blank? I've already tried "settings/checks/disable auto-fill of check numbers" and this does not work. It turns off autofill of check numbers when I'm actually writing a check. Any help is greatly appreciated! I will attach a screenshot.

I understand how important it is to remove the check number added to the register, jason.

As of now, we're unable to remove the number after pressing the tab button. I can see how beneficial it is to have this ability in QuickBooks Desktop for Mac.

I suggest sending your feedback to your development team. This way, they can review your suggestion and might consider adding it in future updates. I'll show you how.

Go to the QuickBooks menu.
Select Preferences.
On the Preferences pane, select Feedback.
Follow a link to the QuickBooks Desktop Mac online forum and/or to an online form for submitting feedback.

Once you're all set, you might want to check this link for reference in seamlessly managing your books: QuickBooks Desktop Mac 2020 User’s Guide.

I'll be around if you have additional questions about your transactions. Keep me posted by tagging me in your reply, and I'll take care of them for you. Have a good one!
