In QuickBooks Online, where is the check register?

A check register report is not available in QuickBooks Online. Instead, you can use two types of reports: Chart of Accounts or Transactions List.
 

Instead of using the check register, export the Chart of Accounts from QBO

  • In the left panel, you can find the Chart of Accounts, which contains information about the company’s accounts and balances.
  • Despite being a separate report from the standard QuickBooks Online reports, you need to run the Chart of Accounts by pressing the Run Report button.
  • Depending on your preference, you can export the account list to Excel or PDF.
  • Our dedicated blog post, How to Export Chart of Accounts in QuickBooks, covers the flow.

Transactions List

You can also use a Transaction List report instead of the check register in QuickBooks Online. There are a few of these reports:
  • Recent Transactions
  • Transaction Details by Account
  • Transaction List by Customer
  • Transaction List by Date
  • Transaction List by Supplier
  • Transaction List by Splits
You can find them in the Reports menu. 
  • Suppose you want to export the Transaction List by Date. To export the report, you need to specify the date range of transactions and run it.
  • As with the Charts of Account, you will eventually be able to export it to Excel or PDF.
The check register is not available in QuickBooks Online in the same form as in Quicken (QuickBooks Desktop). However, QBO provides you with the flexibility to manipulate your accounting data, so you can use a variety of reports.
The only downside is that you’ll have to repeat this process every time you want to update your check register:
 
Go to the Report => Run the report => Export the report
In contrast, you can automate the export of different reports and data from QuickBooks without writing any code!
