"Received From" Name in Deposit Reporting

Here's the issue - When I try and filter my Bank Account using a particular "Name", the Bill PMTs and Checks show up for that vendor but the deposits don't.  When making a deposit, I enter the vendor name in the "Received From" field but there's no option to display that field along with the "Name" field so that the Report includes a complete transaction history (Bills, Check Payments).  I did some searching and it appears to be a limitation.  Is there a workaround that someone can suggest?

 

Thanks for the help.

A deposit is essentially a journal entry and journal entries do not track names properly, never have in any version of QB . The workaround is to Receive payments first though a sales receipt or simply as Receive Payment even if you have no invoice yet it will post a customer credit but importantly will track the name. These payments should post to Undeposited Funds and then create the deposit, selecting the included payments

    Interesting that QB let's you record a "Received From" but doesn't let you report on it.  I wonder why they haven't addressed that over the years.  Thanks for taking the time to respond

      I just experienced this. Assigned a bunch of "received from" deposits, and now a couple of days later the information is gone. I confirmed with a QB representative that the information is gone/is not retained. What a joke. Why in the world would QuickBooks allow its customers to create and input data into "received from", then even click "Save" -- and it does save,  at least for that session -- when the information will disappear? HUGE MYSTERY and very bad customer service. Let people know for goodness' sake! I'm a new QB user and wasted hours of my life this week splitting deposits and assigning them to clients. I was also very excited about the feature, and now I'm bummed I'll have to go back to my spreadsheet to retain this information. This is really a failing in this product. Again, QuickBooks, please LET PEOPLE KNOW. Literally hours of my life gone.
