Applying a reversal JE to remove an open AP balance

I entered a journal entry to accrue an AP expense then reversed it the following month; how do I apply the two entries to one another so that the accrued balance isn't reported as open on the AP aging report?

Applying a reversal JE to remove an open AP balance

Thanks for joining the Community, bbesharp.

 

To properly identify how and if you should link two journal entries together, I'd recommend working with an accounting professional. If you're in need of one, there's an awesome tool on our website called Find a ProAdvisor. All ProAdvisors listed there are QuickBooks-certified and able to provide helpful insights for driving your business's success.

 

Here's how it works:

  1. Go to our Find a ProAdvisor page.
  2. Use the City or ZIP search field to specify a location.
  3. Select Find a ProAdvisor.
  4. Browse through your results and find one that works best for the business. You can click on each ProAdvisor's profile to learn more information about them.

 

Once you've found an accountant, they can be contacted through their Send a message form:

  1. Use the available text box to introduce yourself. Be sure to include details about which services you're looking for.
  2. Enter your appropriate info in the Your nameYour email, and Your phone number (optional) fields.
  3. Hit Send message.

 

I've also included a detailed resource about working with journal entries which may come in handy moving forward: Create a journal entry

 

I'll be here to help if there's any additional questions. Have a great Wednesday!

You need to apply the A/P debit to the credit.  Go to Pay Bills and find the entry that was generated when you made the A/P credit entry.  When you check the box next to the payee, the credit should automatically apply.  Click Save & Close.
