Why is the payment method not showing in my report?

I am trying to get my transaction report to also display the payment method. In the New Reports experience, I have selected the "Payment Method" column to display as visible, but every row is blank. 

I have checked a sample of the transactions listed in the report and all had the payment method data filled in. My report is not displaying them for some reason.

Why is the payment method not showing in my report?

Hey there, @tburch

 

I'd be happy to provide you with some troubleshooting steps to help resolve the issue with your reports in QuickBooks.

 

Before we proceed, could you please specify the report you're experiencing issues with? This information will allow me to check for any similar reported issues and provide you with the appropriate steps to address it.

 

Sometimes, an excessive accumulation of cache can lead to unexpected behavior in the program. This could be the reason why the payment method isn't showing in the report even if it's selected in the transaction.

 

To isolate the problem, let's open your account in a private window. Simply use the following shortcut keys to access this mode:

 

  • Safari: Command + Shift + N
  • Mozilla Firefox: CTRL + Shift + P
  • Google Chrome: CTRL + Shift + N
  • Microsoft Edge: CTRL + Shift + N

 

Once signed in to a private window, run the report again. If it works, return to your default browser and perform a clear cache to refresh the system. However, if the issue persists, use other supported browsers.

Hey there, @Kesser.

 

I would be happy to lay down the steps to help you fix the report in QuickBooks Online.

 

Before anything else, can you specify what report you wish to generate? Additional details would definitely help us come up with the exact solution to fix the issue.

 

For now, I suggest running a Transaction Detail by Account report since it will display the payment method you've used. You can follow the steps provided below:

 

  1. In the left menu panel, go to Reports.
  2. Under Find report by name, look for Transaction Detail by Account.
  3. Click Columns and tick the Payment Method option.  
  4. Then, go to Filter and check Payment Method. 
  5. Under Value, choose the Payment Method you wish to use.

Note: Some reports show the payment method in modern view and some reports don't display it.

 

I have provided this resource to help you tailor reports to customize the specific details that are most important to you: Customize reports in QuickBooks Online.
