to Joana C (QuickBooks Team) ...

You say "The Payment Method and Pay M(e)th in the report are the same, and they reference the method of payment made. "

AdonL (QuickBooks Team) says "Please know that the PAYMENT METHOD field is designated for sales transactions like receipts and customer payments, recording the method used to process these transactions. While on the other hand, the PMT M(E)TH field is utilized for categorizing bank deposit transactions, indicating through which funds are deposited into your bank account.

 

These two fields are distinct within QuickBooks and serve different purposes in recording transactions. Thus, the program doesn't match the filter with bank deposit entries, showing an empty Deposit Detail report. For detailed insight into how these fields are used and how this affects report data, check out this article: Reports in QBDT."

 

So this is an example of what I have been saying that QuickBooks Team members give inconsistent answers, likely because they are following a script instead of responding from personal knowledge of using the system in the same way that real-world users do. My post looking for some alternate workaround solution to printing a report showing only credit card deposits started from the premise that the two fields were separate and distinct and did NOT reference the same thing ... which is likely why my report is coming up blank. 

 

Now I don't really know whether AdonL or Joana C is correct ... I would guess AdonL because my report is blank, but I don't know that for sure. I was hoping that some USER had found a way to accomplish this, but 99% of the responses to general "help me" questions are from Team Members, and frankly, I don't trust most of them ... as you probably can gather based on the two completely different answers I've received to the same question as shown above. 

 

You know, if I was a senior management person at Intuit / QuickBooks and had any idea of the responses coming out of the community, I would really be embarrassed. Of course, I don't believe that top management even knows about the community and how wildly inconsistent the answers given tend to be.

 

Still waiting to see if any USER might have an idea that would work.
