How to create opening balance for Accounts Receivable

Hi there, 

Thanks for contacting us in the Community. QuickBooks is an easy-to-navigate program that helps you to manage your accounting with ease. I'll be glad to share more info so you're on the right track with your work. 

In order to record your transactions the correct way, I recommend consulting an accounting specialist for expert advice. This ensures your books remain accurate while you continue to manage your work with peace of mind. You can also get in touch with a professional using this link here.

Let me know if this info helps. I'm here to steer you in the right direction.

Thx for your answer however, you maybe misunderstood my question. I do not have issue with recording A/R transaction. 

What I have issue with is, entering the opening balance of the A/R account for a new company that I recently created the file at QB. 

I see what you're saying. In that case, I recommend checking out the following article as it shows you how to: Enter opening balances for accounts in QuickBooks Desktop. Feel free to ask other questions as you browse through the article. 

Thank you for the article. I already read the article earlier today but, it doesn't provide the info that I was looking for. 

The article said, we can select "Enter Opening Balance", however, "Enter Opening Balance" is NOT available for A/R. See attached. 

Have you looked into entering a journal entry instead? Reaching out to an accounting expert would be beneficial as you've mentioned above that you don't have all the info for entering the balance the way you had initially intended to.
