QB System Adminstator is creating Purchase Orders automatically without my authorization, why is this happening?

Changes made by the System Administration in QuickBooks Online (QBO) are triggered by a few different reasons, Niraj.

 

These automated processes help ensure data consistency and proper record-keeping across your QBO account. They include:

 

  • Manual changes are made that directly affect another record. This happens after editing a payment that's applied to an invoice.
  • Third-party app integration. Syncing or downloading data from external applications can result in changes logged as System Administration actions.
  • Automated transactions. When recurring transaction templates generate or add new entries automatically, these are attributed to System Administration.
  • Banking synchronization. Updates from connected online banking services can prompt system-level changes.

 

These System Administration activities are important for maintaining the integrity and accuracy of your QBO data, even though they may not be directly initiated by you as the user. The audit log helps track these automated changes for transparency and record-keeping purposes.
