How do I scroll through existing journal entries

With the help of this information, you'll be a QuickBooks master in no time, @Anonymous.

 

You can pull up the Journal report to look through your journal entries.

  1. Go to the Reports menu.
  2. Search for "Journal" and select it.
  3. Modify the reporting period.
  4. If you'd like to view the entries that you manually entered, click on the Customize button.
  5. Go to the Filter section.
  6. From the Transaction Type dropdown menu, select the Journal Entry box.
  7. Click Run report.

 

Then, the best way to create quarterly depreciation expenses is to make a recurring transaction. It helps quickly create an entry with the same information that will happen on a regular occurrence.

 

  1. Select the Gear icon.
  2. Under Lists, select Recurring Transactions.
  3. Click New.
  4. Select Journal Entry, and select OK.
  5. Enter a template name.
  6. Choose a type – Scheduled, Unscheduled, or Reminder.
  7. Enter the necessary information.
  8. Click Save Template.

Here's how:

  1. Select Apps from the sidebar menu.
  2. Go to the Find Apps tab.
  3. Enter a keyword in the search bar or click the Browse category button to filter the results.

 

There are several payroll reports you can view information about your business and employees. Refer to this article for more info: Run payroll reports.

 

This walkthrough guides you through the process in setting up your account: Getting Started With QuickBooks Online.

How do I scroll through existing journal entries

Scroll through, not possible. but at the bottom of the journal entry is usually a list of other journal entries you can click on

 

journal entries should be the exception in QBO, they often do not show up in reporting and sometimes do not work as intended

How do I scroll through existing journal entries

I clicked "Show Existing" and no list appeared.

With regard to Journal Entries:

If not by journal entry, how would I record quarterly depreciation expense?

If not by journal entry, how would I record a 20+ line entry to record weekly payroll from a  payroll service bureau report?

I am new to Online QB. I have been using the Accountant;s version of QB Desktop for my clients since 2005. My largest client converted to Online QB this month. I think this is going to be a long learning curve for me.

How do I scroll through existing journal entries

Thank you for the Reports>Journal solution. I was using the hard way by going to the account and finding the last journal entry. I think I need to invest time in the tutorial. (I believe I saw a link when I first logged into the company account,)

With regard to the Depreciation entry, I was just using that as an example of when a journal entry is (to me) the preferred method of entry. I will make it recurring until such time an acquisition is made, causing a change in the JE. Then I will make a copy and make the change.

With regard to the Payroll entry, again, I was just using that as an example of when a journal entry is (to me) the preferred method of entry. In this case I will be making a copy of the JE and change the numbers each payroll.
