Invoices Missing after update

Let me share some information about missing invoices and ensure you can see them on your new computer, @Virgiltu.

You've mentioned that you can see the invoices on your old computer. If these transactions are not showing in the new device, it could be that QuickBooks Desktop 2021 isn't compatible with your second computer. To verify, let's check this article: System requirements for QuickBooks Desktop 2021. 

Then, we can use your backup copy to restore your accounting data. This will allows you to go back to one of your save points if you ever run into problems.

In case it is saved on an external device like a USB or a hosting service like Box, you'll need to move it to your local hard drive first. Then follow the steps.

1. In QuickBooks, choose the File menu and select Open or Restore Company.
   
   
2. Click Restore a backup copy and continue by choosing Next.
   
   
3. Select Local Backup and then Next.
4. Browse your computer for your backup company file. It should look like this: [Your company name].qbb.
5. Select a folder to decide where to save your restored company file. Then click Open.
   
   
6. When you're ready, choose Save. 

Otherwise, we have to run the repair tool for QuickBooks Desktop for Windows. This tool can help fix common errors right away and help you get back to your business. For detailed steps, please refer to this resource: Repair your QuickBooks Desktop for Windows.

Once everything is settled, you can start again managing your invoices and other sales transactions in QuickBooks.

Keep in touch if you have further questions about handling invoices in QuickBooks. I'll be happy to help you again. Stay safe and take care.

Hi, @Virgiltu.

Hope you’re doing great. I wanted to see how everything is going about the missing invoices concern you had the other day. Was it resolved? Do you need any additional help or clarification? If you do, just let me know. I’d be happy to help you at any time.

Looking forward to your reply. Have a pleasant day ahead!

I think i figured out what i was doing wrong. Based on your explanation I have to back up from the old 15 version and than restore on the new 21 version.

I have my company on an external drive. So I just moved the drive and opened the file on 21, causing 21 to try and update. It did update but it was missing the invoices. 

If this is true, i will have to restore my old computer and than do the backup before trying to reopen it on 21. 

Thank you for checking on me. i will try this week. 

BTW i did do the repair and rebuild but still no invoices. If I create a new one I can see it but nothing before the update.
