How I can recover deleted items(bill, bill payment) in QB

Hello @sgshtrans,

 

Recovering a deleted transaction is unavailable. You'll want to recreate it using the details found in your Audit Log report.

  1. Go to the Gear icon.
  2. Under Tools, select Audit Log.
  3. On the EVENT column, find your deleted bill or bill payment.
  4. Below the HISTORY column, select View.

I'm adding a reference here about recreating a bill and paying it. You can also pull a report of your vendor transactions.

 

Reach out to me if you need more help. Thanks!

HI 

 

What about If the transaction was deleted a few weeks ago, can it be recovered?

if not I have entered a journal to replicate the transaction ir dr the expense code and cr the bank. How do I get this transaction to appear on the bank reconciliation?

Thanks

Thanks for joining this conversation, @PannaLadwa24.

 

Yes, it can be recovered. All you need to do is to follow the steps shared by my colleague above, which is to go to the Audit Log. You can locate the deleted transaction from there and use it as a reference when re-creating them again with the correct date.

 

Consider checking out this article for more information: Use the audit log in QuickBooks Online.

 

Once done, you can see that transaction by the time you'll do a bank reconciliation. Just in case, I'll add this article for future reference: Reconcile an account in QuickBooks Online.

 

Please leave a comment in this thread if you have any other questions or concerns. I'll be more than happy to help. Enjoy the rest of the day!

Hi 

 

I have found the item in the audit log. How do I recreate it or recover it as it was an expense downloaded from the bank statement?

Thanks

Hi there, PannaLadwa24.

 

It's good to know that you found the deleted transaction from the Audit Log. To recreate this transaction, go to the Expenses page and manually enter it and its details.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Click the Plus (+) icon.
  2. Select Expense.
  3. Enter the name of the vendor from the Payee drop-down arrow.
  4. Select the payment account and enter the payment date.
  5. Select the correct account from the Category column.
  6. Fill in the other necessary fields.
  7. Hit Save and close.

 

For additional information, you can refer to this article: Enter, edit, or delete expenses in QuickBooks Online. This also contains steps on how you can make any changes to the expense you created.

 

Please check this article on how to run a report that shows all payments made to vendors: Run a report with vendor totals.

 

Please know that you're always welcome to post if you have any other concerns. Wishing you and your business continued success.

HI 

 

I have created the expense. How does this now appear in the bank rec? As the bank rec is still out of balance?

Thanks

Hello, PannaLadwa24.

 

I'd be glad to lend you a hand and get things sorted out. As an initial step, you can try to filter the Date to All dates to show all the transactions.

 

If you're still not seeing the transactions on the reconciliation page, I'd recommend checking the register associated with the Expense transaction. This is to verify the status of the transaction if it is (Cleared), (Reconciled), or Blank (not cleared nor reconciled). Also, I'd suggest checking the specific bank account associated with it as to why it isn't showing on the reconciliation page.

 

To help guide you more with the reconciliation process, you can to these articles:

Thanks for getting back to us, @PannaLadwa24.

 

If the expense was already reconciled or marked as "R" in the register, it won't show in the bank reconciliation anymore. To verify this, refer to these steps:

 

  1. In QuickBooks Online (QBO), go to the Accounting menu at the left pane to get to the Chart of Accounts.
  2. In the bank account where the expense was posted, tick View register under Action column. 
  3. Locate the expense transaction.
  4. In the Status (check) column, verify if it is (Cleared), (Reconciled), or Blank (not cleared nor reconciled). 

 

Just in case, I'll add these articles for future reference:

 

 

Please know that I'm only a post away if you have any other questions or concerns. I'll be here to assist. Have a great day!

Thanks very much for your help.

 

I have reconciled the bank...but not sure why an expense item from Aug 19 for the same amount & supplier has appeared on the bank rec  which I have taken a snapshot of. 

 

This item wasn't there in Feb??

Thanks

Thanks for getting back to us, @PannaLadwa24.

 

If this item shouldn't be included, you can manually mark this transaction as R (reconciled) in the register. This will stop the expense item from showing in the reconciliation process.

 

To do this, locate the transaction in the register by following the steps (to 3) I shared above. Then, in the Status (check) column repeatedly click the field to mark it as R.

 

 

Once done, you can proceed with reconciling your bank account in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

 

Reach out to me in the comment section if you have any other issues or concerns, and I'll get back to you as soon as possible. I'm more than happy to answer them. Have a good one!
