It’s great to see you in the Online Community, sweilers5.


Let’s use the Customize feature to include the account number and description in the report. This process can be done with just a few clicks.
 
Here’s how:          

       

  1. Go to the Reports tab on the left panel to enter Journal in the Find report by the name field.
  2. This will open the Journal Report page.
  3. From the Report period drop-down, select the correct date range and then tap the Customize menu in the upper right corner.
  4. In the Customize report window, choose Rows/Columns to display the Change columns link and then click on it to mark the following boxes: Memo/Description and Account #.

  5. Click Run Report to view the changes.

Hi, I am also trying to view memo/description for a customer report.  I go to Transaction List By Date and follow your instructions of clicking Customize and the checkbox for memo/desc.  The memo/desc field appears, but it's blank for every transaction!  When I click on the transaction, the Description field has data in it.  How do I view this data in a report??

Let me ease your confusion, OTJohn.

 

The Memo/Description column in the Transaction List By Date report will show the info in the Memo or Message on Statement box. 

 

You'll want to enter the details in that box so it will show on the report. You can easily open the transaction from the report, then transfer the info. 
 

Aside from customizing the report, you can memorize it as well. It lets you save the customization settings and lets you open the report anytime. 

 

If any questions arise, you can always reply to this thread. We're just one comment away.
