a comment on any one of my videos and i'll be sure to get to it as quickly as i can
the first thing that i'm going to do is delete a transaction so that i can show that it's been
recovered so i'm going to go into the general journal entry screen to get there you want to
go to company and down towards the bottom where it says make general journal entries
so i'm going to select find and i'm going to select the prior entry which would be
entry number 88. so here's a transaction for bank service charges so i'm just going
to go ahead and delete this transaction by selecting this little arrow under delete
and selecting delete and i'm going to say okay to delete the transaction
now if i go back into find here and select entry number 88 again
and select find it says there are no matching transactions that means that i have deleted the
transaction and quickbooks no longer has it in the general ledger so i'm going to select ok here
and x out of find now i'm going to show you how to recover the transaction
so you want to go to reports and down to where it says accounting and taxes
and from this menu go down to where it says voided deleted transactions detail
from here you'll notice that you have a bunch of different options up at the top of the screen so
you can select a range of dates that you're going to be looking for your deleted transactions in
mine was actually from today's date which is july 31st 2021 so i don't need to change
anything here but if you can see here in the voided deleted transactions detail
here's journal entry number 88 which is the journal entry that i just deleted
so there's actually two journal entry number 88 because i deleted one previously as a test
so you can see that there's two you never want to have two journal entries obviously
with the same number because that becomes confusing when you're trying to find something
so unfortunately quickbooks does not actually repost the transaction that's been deleted for you
but it does give you a list of all of your deleted transactions so the next thing that you would want
to do to make things simple is just print the list of deleted transactions for however many you need
to recover by selecting print here and then you can go ahead and re-enter these transactions back
into quickbooks because you have all the details that you need to duplicate your entry you have the
entry number you've got the date and you've got the general ledger accounts that you previously
had posted the transaction to so that's all for this video on how to recover a deleted transaction
