How can I recreate deleted transaction with no information except expense id and amount

I have transactions that have been deleted since the last reconciliation. The only information I have is the $ amount and the expense id; therefore I do not know the date and cannot find the transaction on a bank statement. The transaction could go back several years. Can I find the expense id of other transactions? Do I need to search every reconciliation report? Any suggestions?

You can use the Audit Log feature to view all deleted transactions in QuickBooks Online (QBO), vital.

 

Before proceeding, please ensure you have admin privileges to access this section. If you do, follow the steps below:

 

  1. Log in to your QBO account.
  2. Click the Gear icon, then go to Tools and select Audit Log.
  3. In the Audit Log page, choose the relevant User from the dropdown menu.
  4. Then, go to the Date Changed dropdown and select the range that best aligns with when the transaction was deleted.
  5. After that, go to the Events dropdown and choose Deleted/Voided Transactions.
  6. Please use the expense ID and amount you have to identify the deleted transaction in the list.
  7. Once located, click View to access the Audit History and review the details, including the transaction date and other relevant information.

 

 

For reference, please visit this article: Use the audit log in QuickBooks Online.

 

After locating the deleted transaction, you can proceed to recreate it.
