Journal Entry Button

Hi,

 

I have read all the online notes about adding journal entries, but I have no journal entry buttons. My husband and I share an account, so permissions are not an issue. So, where is it? I have gone through the chart of accounts and tried to add it through the gear icon. Where is it?

 

thanks,

J

Journal Entry Button

Thank you for reaching out regarding the missing journal entry button in your QuickBooks Online (QBO), Jane323. I understand how crucial it is to have all the features available for efficient bookkeeping. I'll guide you through the steps to locate the journal entry option.

 

In QBO, you can find the option to create a Journal Entry under the + New button on the Toolbar at the top left of your dashboard. Once you click the New button, look for the Journal Entry option in the Other column.

 

I’ve attached a screenshot for your reference:

For more information on entering journal entries, refer to this article: Create journal entries in QuickBooks Online.

 

However, if you still can't see the Journal Entry, try accessing your account through a private browsing window. Sometimes, a browser’s cache can cause unexpected errors or performance problems in QBO. Here are the keyboard shortcuts for opening an incognito window:

 

  • Safari: Shift + ⌘ + N
  • Google Chrome: Press Ctrl + ShiftN
  • Microsoft Edge: Ctrl + Shift + N

 

If accessing QuickBooks through an incognito window resolves the issue, I recommend clearing your browser's cache to refresh the system. If the problem persists, consider switching to a different supported browser.

 

Additionally, streamline your bookkeeping tasks conveniently via the QBO menu. Customize it to enhance workflow efficiency and quickly access your preferred QuickBooks pages, saving you time. For guidance, please refer to the article: Understand the navigation menu in QuickBooks Online.

 

I hope the provided guidance helps you efficiently locate and use the journal entry button in QBO. Should you need more assistance or have further questions, please don't hesitate to reply below. We're here to support you every step of the way.
