What do you mean with "rebuild"?

Do you have QB Desktop or Online?

Thank you for visiting the QuickBooks Community, Kasanea. It's important to note that the Verify and Rebuild feature is exclusively available in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT). Here's what you need to know. 

 

To start with, I can see that you tag your post as QuickBooks Online (QBO). These tools are exclusive to QBDT to fix the most common issues in a company file and rebuild tool. If you are using QBDT in the US or Canada, you can follow these steps to verify and rebuild your data.

 

To verify your company data:

 

  1. Go to Window then choose Close All.
  2. Go to File, then hit Utilities.
  3. Select Verify Data.

To rebuild:

 

  1. From the FileUtilities, and then select Rebuild Data.


  2. QuickBooks will ask you to make a backup before it rebuilds your company file. Select OK. A backup is required before you can rebuild.
  3. Select where you want to save your backup, then OK. Don’t replace another backup file. Enter a new name in File name and click Save.
  4. Select OK when you get the message Rebuild has completed.
  5. Go to File, select Utilities then select Verify Data again to check for additional damage.

Additionally, here is a guide on how to customize your reports to review recorded transactions in the future.

 

With the information above, you'll be able to detect and correct data within your account. Let us know if you need further clarification about tools. I'm still here to back you up.
