What version of QB are your directions for? There is no option to view register, only run reports when I enter my chart of accounts.

I am trying to move entries coded to 7000 to 4100/4200. Do you have any instructions for this?

Hi there, TBarthMB19.

Thank you for posting here in the QuickBooks Community.

The reason why you don't have the View register, it could be all the transactions under Charts of Account are income and expenses accounts.

You can move the entries by reviewing your transactions/items and updating their posting accounts.

I'll provide you an example of bank deposit from your transactions.

Here's how:

1. Click the Accounting tab at the left panel. Then, Chart of Accounts.

2. Choose a transaction. Click the Run report drop-down list under Action column.

3. You'll be route into the Account QuickReport page.

4. Under Account column, click the account you've selected..

5. On the drop-down arrow under Add funds to this deposit, choose a customer.

6. Under Account column, change the posting account.

If you wish to add, edit, or delete an account in Chart of Account, you can check this article on how you can do that: Edit Your Chart of Accounts.

I'll be glad to help you if you have any other questions. Have a good day!

Thanks for the instructions, however, it is hard to change any transactions because it keeps telling me that I need to unmatch the transaction first. When I do that, then it disappears from the chart of accounts. ??

The clients bank changed names and has started mapping the two bank accounts to the wrong account. How do I fix those? Ex: deposit for bank a is in bank b. It will not allow me to change it?

Thank you for joining the thread, @v1967.

This issue happens if the new account was connected to the old bank instead of creating a new bank from the Chart of Accounts. To start with, let's make sure that the new account was set-up correctly from the chart of accounts.

Open your QuickBooks Online account, then click on Accounting at the left pane.
Select Chart of Accounts and review the account from there.

After we have to exclude the entries added from the banking page and import them to the correct account.

To exclude the transaction/s:

Click on Banking at the left pane, then look for the account where the entries are uploaded.
Go to the For Review column.
Select the transactions you want to delete.
Tap on the drop-down arrow under Batch action, then choose Exclude Selected.

Once deleted, you can import those transactions to the correct account using our WebConnect file. You can get the detailed steps in this article: Manually upload transactions into QuickBooks Online.

Any update on this? Its 2023 and this is something so basic in other accounting software...

NO and there never will be. In keeping with long standing Quickbooks precedent even basic features like batch actions for moving multiple transactions are beyond the capability of QuickBooks Online. There are no plans to remedy the problem or any other functionality issues not interfering with popup adds or rate increases in the future.
