You're unable to recover the deleted estimate, hunter7mm. You can instead recreate it using the information found on the audit log. Allow me to discuss this matter thoroughly.

 

An audit log records the changes made within your company file, including when and which transactions are removed from the system. This can be used as a basis when recreating deleted estimates, as it also includes the exact details of the transaction.

 

Here's how to utilize the audit log:

 

  1. Sign in as an admin in QuickBooks Online.
  2. Head to the Gear icon, then the Audit log.
  3. Utilize the Filter and choose the appropriate UserDate, or Events for a more precise result.
  4. Select Apply, then click View from the History column.

 

After that, note the transaction details from the audit history and recreate the estimate using this information.

 

Moreover, you might want to scan these materials for guidance on converting your estimates into an invoice and receiving customer payments:
