Join nowHello, Everyone.
I'm new to the community. I'm also new to QuickBooks. I learned on Peachtree and I'm just getting going in QuickBooks.
My question is this: How do I get the recorded entries into the Journal? I entered everything in manually, through Expense entry and where ever else I could figure to get the data stored. I have seen the error of my ways and would like to know how I can get everything in to the journal. Is it too late for that? Is it necessary to do that?
Please advise. I am open to suggestions and instruction.
Thank you,
Pratt.
Just to clarify your question, do you need to import Journal Entries into QB Online or else?
The Community has your back, PrattJPP.
You can open the Expense transaction and check the Transaction Journal to check the affected accounts. It displays the information for the current transaction you open including the accounts affected by the assembly. The entries displayed on the report determine the posting of the transaction for auditing and report purposes.
You should be able to create a journal entry (JE) in QuickBooks Online. This feature is located under the Other column to create customer, vendor transactions. Here's how:
You can also void or delete the expense entries to remove duplicates.
Here are a few articles that may be able to help you in the future for your business:

I'm not sure if I should just pick up the journal entries from this point forward, or if I need the prior entries. I want to have all of the entries in the Journal, if possible. I want to know if I could get all of the existing data to the Journal by some means.
Thanks for helping me out.
This is great, going forward. It is what I found out yesterday. I'm hoping to get the data that I've already entered by the manual expense entries into the Journal. How may I accomplish this? And, is it necessary to do so, or just start Journaling from this point forward.
Thank you.
Bear in mind, you will need an importer tool to import JE in bulk.

I see...
I think I'm misstating the issue. I have a new business that started in May of this year. I entered all expenses, since then, into QuickBooks. But, I did not enter them in via Journal Entry. I've learned that's not the proper way to enter transactions. So, I am wondering if I need to log all of those transactions in the Journal manually, or will QuickBooks pull that data by some function. Also, whether I need to have journal entries for the previous days, back to May, or should I just go forth and do better.
Thanks again for the help and quick replies. Truly appreciated.
Hi, PrattJPP.
If you want to keep the previous transactions as expenses, you can go to that one and if you want to keep the previous transactions in Journal entries, you can follow my previous answer.
