<p class="Help-Bulleted">Your transactional history is used for reporting, to build customer, vendor, and item histories, and can be accessed to view, reprint, or copy a saved document.</p>
</li>
<li class="p-Help-Bulleted" style="margin-left: -20px;">
<p class="Help-Bulleted">History documents can never be deleted and, with the exception of some informational fields, generally cannot be <a href="basic_edit_documents.htm">edited</a>. But they can be <a href="basic_historydocs_reversing.htm">reversed</a> if necessary to make a correction. Reversing a history document does not remove the original document; rather it creates a new document with the opposite effect.</p>

<li class="p-Help-Bulleted" style="margin-left: -20px;">
<p class="Help-Bulleted">If integrated with QuickBooks Desktop financial software, all history documents are sent to update your financial records. You can view the linked QuickBooks Desktop documents and transactions related to any Point of Sale history document by selecting the document and then selecting <span class="hcp1">View Financial Details</span> from the I Want To menu. <a href="../qbpos_qb_data_exchange/financialexchange_viewqbfstransactions.htm">Learn more</a>.</p>

<p class="Help-Bulleted">(Pro) All history documents created at remote stores are sent to Headquarters to update inventory and QuickBooks Desktop and are included in Headquarters history lists and reports. Documents made at Headquarters are not sent to remote stores; therefore remote store histories only reflect the documents made at that store.</p>
