Verify and Rebuild a QuickBooks data file
If the QuickBooks Desktop company file is damaged, verify the company file and then rebuild it to correct any data damage. There may be a need to cycle through the verify-rebuild process more than once to correct all data damage.
Common reasons to use the Verify and Rebuild features
- Fatal errors when using QuickBooks Desktop
- Discrepancies on reports, such as invoices or bills that post with negative values
- Deposited payments show up in the Payments to Deposit window
- Balance sheet reports don't show all accounts
- Names are missing from lists
- Transactions are missing
- Run a well-data checkup to make sure the company file is error free
