Hi there, @specialmethods.
For now, we're unable to turn off the automatic numbering for journal entries. However, you can manually edit the number if you want to use a unique number for the journal entries.
Let me show you how:
- Open the Journal entry that you've created.
- You can also use the Advanced search feature to locate the transaction.
- Click the Journal no. field and delete its details, then enter the desired number.
- Once done, click Save and close.
I can see how this option would be helpful for you and your business. Therefore, let me take note of this as a suggestion to improve your QuickBooks experience.
We'll let you know if we have this feature available in the future. You can also visit our Firm of the Future site. This is where we share recent happenings and future developments, such as updates to newly added features.
The Community is always here if you need anything else. Have a great day, and keep safe.
