Hi, @arkvalleyinfo.

 

Welcome to the Community. I'm here to help figure out why QuickBooks is randomly deleting lines from your entries. 

 

I've checked to be sure if there's an ongoing issue about this. However there's none, so it's possible that this is a web page problem. Let's try checking by logging in to QuickBooks using a private browser. Here's how:

  • Google Chrome: press Ctrl + Shift + N  
  • Mozilla Firefox: press Ctrl + Shift + P
  • Internet Explorer: press Ctrl + Shift + P
  • Safari: press Command + Shift + N

You can also try using a different browser. If it works, I recommend clearing your previous browser's cache to start fresh. 

 

However, if the issue persists even if you're using other browsers, I'd suggest contacting our Online Care Support so they can access your account in a secure environment and dig deeper into what's causing this unusual behavior. 

 

I'll be on the lookout if you have additional questions about your entries in QuickBooks.  I'm here to help however I can.

The OP is correct.  QBO is deleting the wrong lines when users click the trash can.  It has happened to me numerous times today.  Example:  I have 8 lines of purchases entered that were populated from a precious transaction.  I go down through lines 1-5 and update the qty and price.  When I reach line I realize I did not order any of these do I click the trash can.  In my case, it always deletes line 1 no matter what trash can I click.

    The Community has you covered, @WRECKROOM.

     

    Issues like this are usually the result of outdated or corrupt cache files in your web browser. Browser caches help speed up basic browsing that allow you to save more time when loading repetitive images or information. However, it can impact processes and cause this unexpected behavior when your browser accumulates too much historical data. Not to worry, you can clear them in just a few easy steps.

     

    In the meantime, we can start by accessing your account through an incognito window to rule out the possibility of a webpage issue. You can refer to these shortcut keys to open an incognito window in all supported browsers:

     

    • Google Chrome: press Ctrl + Shift + N 

    • Mozilla Firefox: press Ctrl + Shift + P

    • Safari: press Command + Shift + N

     

    Once logged in, go back and try to click the trash can again. If it works, go back to your regular browser and clear its cache to refresh the program. We advise our users to delete them now and then to prevent and fix issues like this.

     

    However, if you get the same result while using a private browser, I recommend switching to a different browser.
