Why is the Memo/Description field is blank in the Transaction Detail Report? It only shows up if the Memo field is populated in the bank entry, but not Description.

I don't see any other columns available to pull in. It's also missing if you drill into the bank account detail from the Balance Sheet.

Why is the Memo/Description field is blank in the Transaction Detail Report? It only shows up if the Memo field is populated in the bank entry, but not Description.

Let me clarify why the Memo/Description field isn't showing the information you expect, @triasgem.

 

In the classic view, the Memo/Description field in the Transaction Detail Report only displays information from the Memo field. If data was entered in the Description field, it won’t show up because the classic view does not support this field.

To resolve this, you can switch to the modern view, where both the Memo and Description fields are available and included in the report.
