    I can guide you on how to do it in QuickBooks Online Payroll, @info11. 

     

    We can run a Summary by Employee report. If you're using the modern or new report page, follow the steps below:

     

    1. Go to Reports in the Left pane.
    2. Next, find in the Search bar, Summary by Employee.
    3. Then, sort the data or match it to the Fiscal Date.
    4. Click the Customize button.
    5. On the Custom Report page, modify each detail, and choose a single employee.
    6. Lastly, press the Run Report button.

     

    If you are utilizing the old form report page, you can locate the Summary Report by Employee and follow this article to customize the report: Customize reports in QuickBooks Online.

     

    In the event you want to export your file from QuickBooks, here's an article for your future reference: Export reports, lists, and other data from QuickBooks Online.

     

    Let me know if you have other concerns with pulling up reports. I'd be glad to help.

    I recognize the relevance of fixing this issue when saving your invoices to keep track of your finances accordingly, mrfixits. I'll be including relevant troubleshooting to help you save transactions properly.

     

    Beforehand, please check for changes made within your company file through the audit log. If invoices are saved and suddenly disappear from your book, it can be that the transaction was deleted.

     

    If invoices haven't been saved, we can troubleshoot your browser to fix issues related to corrupted cache files. Outdated data can affect your experience when performing different tasks, which prevents you from saving the transaction.

     

    To get this fixed, access your account using a private window through these keyboard shortcuts:

     

    • Google Chrome: Ctrl + Shift + N
    • Safari 11 or newer: ⌘ + Shift + N
    • Mozilla Firefox: Shift + Ctrl + P
    • Microsoft Edge: Ctrl + Shift + N

     

    Once it works, switch to your regular browser and clear its cache to avoid related discrepancies. Also, note about the system's supported browser for the best and most secure experience.

     

    On the other hand, you might want to scan this material for guidance once you're ready to receive customer payments: Record invoice payments in QuickBooks Online.

    Thank-you for a fast response.
    However, none of your answers are sufficient to answer my complaints.

     

    Here are four real-life scenarios of how I lose data because my online software does not auto-save.

    I highly suggest that you try these examples for yourself.

    Here is what you might find:

     

    1.) Create an Invoice. Add a line item to the invoice ("Add work") with description and amount. Go to the next line by clicking "Add work" again. Bingo! You have just lost the previous line item, with no way to get it back, as you did not hit "Enter" or click on the "Add to invoice" button.

     

    2.) Create an Invoice. Add a line item to the invoice ("Add work") with description and amount. To save it hit "Enter". Click on "Add work" to create another line item. Save it with "Enter". Go back to the first item, and make corrections to the text and the price, and hit "Enter". Congrats, you have just lost the corrections and will have to re-enter them! (You must click on "Add to invoice", and not "Enter" in this case.)

     

    3.) Create an Invoice. Add Customer name. Add several different line Items (scroll down to do so). Click on "Save as draft". Congrats! You have just lost the entire invoice, because you didn't enter an email address! The red warning at the top to enter email address, is outside of the view of the working window that is seen.

     

    4.) Create an Invoice. Add several detailed line items to the Invoice. Go do some other tasks on the computer. Bingo! You have just lost the entire Invoice because of an internet timeout, and now you will have to re-create the Invoice again.

     

    WHY NO AUTO-SAVE??
    Is there something I'm doing wrong, or perhaps a switch or preference that I need to turn on?
    I could not find one...

     

    I used to enjoy Intuit software.
    It was innovative and fun to use.
    That is no longer the case.

     

    Please enlighten me as I'm considering ending my 3 decades of Intuit software purchases.
