Importing Journal Entries

Why is there no free option for US customers of QBO to import journal entries? It's deeply disappointing that at least three other countries/regions have this ability but there has been nothing but scripted lip service regarding how "empowering" of a feature this would be for US customers, acknowledgement that the feature is only available in other countries, and promises to "send the request to the development team". The functionality is clearly there as it is used in other regions, so there should be no need for additional development. Therefore, there is something else going on. I would appreciate an explanation as to why this feature has yet to be added. Thanks.

Importing Journal Entries

Hi lpena5!

 

QuickBooks Online has different features depending on the plan and region or country. Although we can import data into the US version, the journal entry is currently not an option.

 

I understand that you need to import journal entries the same way we can import the other data. A feature request is more likely to be prioritized and added if our engineers received more feedback or requests about it. You'll want to send one by clicking the Gear icon, then select Feedback.

 

For now, while we can't tell when this will be added to the US version, the best way is to use a third-party application. You can search for one from the Apps menu. Another option is by creating your own journal entry in QuickBooks Online.

 

I added some links you can check. These can help you in bringing your other data to QuickBooks Online:

 

I'll be right here if you have other concerns. Take care always!

@lpena5 

You will need a 3rd party importer tool to do so.

We've also noticed that the feature isn't available in many accounting apps for the US region. If the feature is important to your business and you are reluctant to use a 3rd party tool, you should switch to another accounting app.
