Num column not updating after change.

Thanks for sharing your concern in the QuickBooks Community and adding a screenshot, @Skiman047.

If you already updated the journal entry number but it still reflects the old one, we can run some troubleshooting steps. A minor data issue in your company file might be causing this unusual behavior.

To start, let's update QuickBooks to its latest release. Doing this will ensure you have the latest fixes in your QuickBooks company. Here's how:

1. Go to the Help menu and select Update QuickBooks Desktop.
2. Click Update Now, then Get Updates.
3. Close and reopen QuickBooks to install the update again.

Once done, run an account quick report again. If you're still getting the same results, I suggest running the Verify and Rebuild Data Tools in QuickBooks Desktop. This will help us find the most common issues in a company file and fix them.

In addition, you can also turn off the auto-numbering feature in QuickBooks. Doing this will stop the system from automatically numbering the newly created journal entries. Let me show you how:

1. Go to Edit and select Preferences.
2. Click Accounting, then uncheck the Automatically assign general journal entry number box.
3. Select OK.

Moreover, you can customize reports in QuickBooks Desktop to easily focus on the details that matter the most to your business.

If you have additional questions about updating numbers in the Num column of your quick reports, just add them to the thread. I'd be glad to provide further assistance. Have a good one.

I did that before posting here.   after 10 minutes of asking me every question under the sun, they said they couldnt help me.  less than useless.
