Try to stay away from using journal entries, they often do not show in reports or may not work the right way.

 

Create a service item that links to the bad debt expense account.

Use that item on a customer credit memo, and then apply the credit memo to the customer invoice

I found the proper directions in the Quickbooks tutorials, which did not include a journal entry. Thank you for your help!
