Is there a way for the reference number given to a bank deposit to show in the bank register?

Hi there, AJGmc.

 

Welcome back to the QuickBooks Community. I'll ensure to share some details on how reference numbers work in QuickBooks Online.

 

The numbers showing in the Ref No. field on the Bank Register page are the transaction numbers. These are the numbers you enter in Ref no. field when creating entries like invoices, sales receipts, or expenses. That said, the ref number associated with the created bank deposit transaction won't show on the bank register. However, it'll appear in some reports like Deposit detail. You'll have to make sure that you customize the said report to show the Ref no. under the Number column. 

 

I attached a screenshot below for visual reference.

 

 

Since deposit Ref No. is currently won't appear in the Bank register, you can enter your reference number in the Memo field so it'll reflect on your Bank Register section as a workaround.

Thanks that's a very helpful trick putting it in the memo but it does mean it's not in the same column as the reference number. As there is the window to put a reference number in the deposit I don't understand why this is not possible. I might have a touch of OCD and I want my bank register to look consistent with all the reference numbers in a neat column.
