Frequently asked questions
Can I delete multiple transactions at once?
In some views, like the bank feed's undo section, you can select and remove multiple transactions together.
Will deleting a transaction affect a completed reconciliation?
Yes, if the transaction was part of a reconciled period, deleting it can create a discrepancy you'll need to address.
Should I delete or exclude a duplicate bank transaction?
Excluding is often safer for bank feed duplicates since it removes the transaction without affecting anything it might already be linked to.
Is there a record of deleted transactions?
Yes, QuickBooks Online keeps an audit log that shows what was deleted and by whom.
