Add a transaction to an account register

In QuickBooks Online, you can manually add transactions like checks, deposits, or journal entries directly to an account register. This method saves time if you need to make a quick addition while reviewing your chart of accounts.

While we suggest using forms like invoices or sales receipts for better reporting, manual entry can be faster for certain tasks.

Prerequisites

• Not every account register lets you add transactions directly.
