Accessing Past Time Entries

Why can’t I view or click on past time entries in QuickBooks Online? I see them listed in reports, but when I try to open the entry, I get a ‘something went wrong’ error. Is this a known bug or a subscription issue

Let’s perform some troubleshooting steps so you can access past time entries in QuickBooks Online, zjohanson.
 

Clearing your browser’s cache often resolves display issues that may prevent you from opening time entries. Use the appropriate guide for your browser here:
 

If clearing your cache doesn’t resolve the issue, consider using a different supported browser to avoid browser-specific problems.

 

Also, is your QuickBooks Online account integrated with QuickBooks Time? If so, ensure that the integration between QuickBooks Time and QuickBooks Online is properly set up, as syncing issues between the two apps can affect your ability to view time entries. To add information for your time entries, see this article: Add notes to your current timesheet or a previous timesheet in QuickBooks Time.
 

As an alternative, you can use the Time menu in QuickBooks Online to filter by date and view past time entries. Here’s how:
 

  1. Go to the Time menu and select Time entries
  2. In Display by, select Date.
  3. Select the Date range for the past entries you want to view.
  4. Enter your team member’s name if you need to edit the time for a specific team member. 
  5. Select Edit next to the timesheet and click Save.

I just want to make sure before I do all these steps you understand we came from a migration from QuickBooks Desktop to Online Advanced. 

 

Should I still perform these steps?

Yes, you can still perform the troubleshooting steps provided by my colleague above, @zjohanson.

 

After migration, Time sheets and activities should automatically sync to QBO after migrating from QBDT.

 

If troubleshooting doesn’t resolve the issue, refer to the article Fix errors when you move from desktop to online for help with migration problems.
