Question

Downloaded Transactions Bug - Payee and Account Names

I have had a constant bug with my QuickBooks Mac Desktop product, that has never been fixed in the past few years with each new release. When I use the Downloaded Transactions tool, the bug activates. In the Downloaded Transactions area where I see the transactions that have been downloaded from my bank, I go to type in an Account name, and QuickBooks defaults to customer names instead of account names, which means I cannot quickly enter the account that is in my register. I have to select the arrow and scroll down through my accounts in order to select the correct account, which make entering transactions take significantly longer than it should. This affects all transaction entry methods (enter check, enter credit card transaction, etc.), and the only way to fix it is to restart QuickBooks. But when I go to download transactions, it happens again. Has anyone else had this issue, and have you found a way to fix it?

Run the Verify/Rebuild Data utility. Did you encounter any error message?

I did receive errors when I ran the verify utility, so I just ran the rebuild utility. I ran verify again and it came back without any errors. Hopefully this fixed it! I should be able to tell the next time I download transactions. Thank you!

We can verify and rebuild data in your company file to resolve the bugs and inconsistencies you're encountering, mkovich. I'll outline a few steps to improve workflow and productivity.

 

These tools identify the most common data issues in a company file and repair them. We can use the verify tool to scan your company file for errors or data damage. Here's how to do that:

 

  1. Go to File, then click Utilities.
  2. Select Verify Data, then tap OK to close all windows.

 

Once done, you can rebuild your company file to resolve any detected mistakes or data damage. If Your data has failed the integrity check prompts when verifying the company file, follow the steps below:

 

  1. Go to File, then select Utilities.
  2. Choose Rebuild Data, then click OK to close all windows.
  3. QuickBooks will ask you to make a backup before proceeding, you can either pick OK or Cancel to continue.
    1. Update your Backup Preferences and edit as needed if you haven't set them up, then click OK.
    2. When it's finished, press Show in Finder to locate the backup or tap OK afterward.
  4. Hit OK.

 

To ensure your company file is free of errors or data damage, verify it again. If you still encounter errors or damage, rebuild once more.
