Editing multiple memo fields

[DrRockower]

We have a memorized transaction with multiple lines for each employee that is entered each payday. Each time I enter it, I have to manually edit each line for the proper date information that that line refers to (not the date of the transaction). I have been copying and pasting each line, but there must be a simple way to do a global replace (isn't there???)
Thanks for any help

Unless you have the Accountants Version of QB, I'm afraid you will have to do one at a time.

If you only put the information on the Memo line, it should auto repeat to all lines on the J/E, all though you can't see it on the screen, you will see it in the postings in the Ledger.

Thanks. Unfortunately, there are about 20 lines with similar but not exactly the same info. (ie Jones 072112 or Smith 072112). It's the "721" part I need to change across multiple lines. I have gotten good at "delete delete delete CNTL-V down left left left" sequence!

If you are using a Journal Entry, trying this:- put the Employees name in the "Customer Field"

And enter the Pay Period date only on the first line of the J/E.

While what you but on the first line it will not show as being repeated on the J/E, when you look in the General Ledger
you will see the first line memo has been added to the entire J/E

Hope this helps

TY. That may be worth a try...

Yes, that worked. Thanks
