System Administration entries are suddenly appearing in accounts payable. The invoices are a couple of years old. What would cause that?

Hello treasure119,

 

It's important you know why the System Administration entries are showing up in your accounts. Don't worry, I'll be happy to share more info about this so you can use the program with confidence and reap all its benefits.

 

System Administration entries are changes made automatically by QuickBooks Online. Here are possible reasons why you're seeing these entries:

  • If you've changed a record, and the change affects another record. A good example would be, if you edit a payment and link it to a different invoice, you may see a System Administration event for a change to the original invoice.
  • If you've connected a third-party app to QuickBooks. Some apps send data to QuickBooks or change the existing data and this can appear as a System Administration entry. 
  • If you've created a recurring transaction, such as a recurring expense. When QuickBooks automatically adds an instance of the transaction to your books, a System Administration event appears in the audit log.
  • If you've set up other events to happen automatically, even when you’re not signed in. For example, a System Administration event may appear when there's an update to your bank feeds.

Let me know if any of these reasons have caused the entries on your end. I'll be here in case you have other questions. Otherwise, I wish you a great rest of the week.
