Hello there, Beverly.

Deleted transaction is one factor of having an incorrect balance in QuickBooks Online (QBO). You may have accidentally deleted a transaction, but there is still an option for you to recreate it the way it appears on your discrepancy report. Here's how:
 

  1. Select + New.
  2. Select the correct form (invoice, sales receipt, expense, etc).
  3. Fill out the form and select Save and close.
  4. Go to Bookkeeping or Accounting, then select Chart of accounts.
  5. Find the account that you put the transaction into and select View register.
  6. Find the transaction and select it to expand the view.
  7. Select the box in the checkmark column until you see an R.
  8. Select Save.
