Hi there, Deadwood. The Payment Method and Pay Meth in the report are the same, and they reference the method of payment made. Allow me to clarify this information with you.

The payment method displayed in the report is based on how it was initially listed at the time of creation. For instance, if a payment transaction is recorded as a check, we have to include the check option in the filter field to ensure it appears in the report.

To address this, we can clear the current filter, add the check payment method again, run the report, and set the desired date. Here’s how:

1. Go to the Reports menu.
2. Hover over Banking and select Deposit Detail.
3. Click on the Customize Reports tab.
4. In the Filters tab.
5. Type Payment Method, then click Remove Selected Filter.
6. Recreate the filter again. Set the date you want to show.

If you still encounter the same error after adding the check in the filter field, I recommend contacting our support for further assistance with this error in QuickBooks Desktop.

You can check out this article on setting your preferences when running a report: Set report preferences.

Let me know if you still have more concerns about your report. We'll attend to it as soon as possible. Have a good day.
