Searching for transactions

I am looking for duplicate transactions in a check register. I enter the amount into the Search bar and get a "no item match" results even though I can see a transaction with the exact amount, as entered, ($174.40) on my screen. Any suggestions or is this simply another basic failure of this software?

Hi there, Wingwalker.

 

I understand how important it is to look for the duplicate transaction in your check register. Rest assured, I'm here to assist you in fixing this. 

 

Sometimes, our browser fills too much cache, which could cause malfunctions to some features or slow down a website. As of now, I can guide you on troubleshooting your browser to ensure it runs with QuickBooks efficiently. Let's start with accessing QuickBooks Online using incognito mode or a private window.

 

Here are the shortcut keys to go private mode in a browser:

 

For Google Chrome / Microsoft Edge / Opera:
 

  • Windows: Ctrl + Shift + N
  • Mac: Command ⌘ + Shift + N

For Firefox:
 

  • Windows: Ctrl + Shift + P
  • Mac: Command ⌘ + Shift + P

For Safari:
 

  • Shift + Command ⌘ + N

 

If this works, you can proceed to clear your browser's cache and cookies to clear temporary files running in your browser that have caused the malfunctions. Otherwise, you can also use other supported browsers to ensure it runs QBO efficiently.

 

After that, you'll be able to look for the duplicate transactions by amount in the search bar. Here's what it would look like:

The private window didn't do anything. I'll work on the cache clearing in a sec.

And searching after clearing cache didn't do anything. It can find transactions within the past year, but that's it. The function can't seem to search by transaction amount. This seems like a very basic function lang with not duplicating entries randomly, but QB fails at this as well.
