Clearing JE's from A/R reports

My client has a lot of JE's to A/R from past audits that show on the A/R Aging Detail. Is there a way to make these gone other than customizing the A/R report to not show JE's. Here is a snip

Unfortunately there is not.  Journal entries do not work well with a/r, a/p, inventory due to the way QB is set to work.

Clearing JE's from A/R reports

Thank you for responding. I was back at this client this morning and I was wondering if the following is a possible solution. Many of the JE's I have reverse back out at the beg of the FY. So was wondering if I "changed" the JE to an invoice and then the reversal to a credit memo and then matched the two. This would remove it from the A/R report. Do you foresee a negative "domino" effect on the books by doing this? Thanks!

About your process, it’ll most likely create negative amounts as journal entries don't work well with A/R aging reports. I recommend reaching out to your accountant about the best process for your books.
