Hello and welcome to the Community, Jvazzo. I'm here to help you enter a trial beginning balance to QuickBooks Online(QBO).
One reason you can't input a value could be the account type. Specific account categories like Assets, which include Buildings and Land, do not allow entering values directly.
As a workaround, we can use a Journal Entry to set the starting balance for these accounts.
Here are the steps to create a journal entry:
- Go to + New.
- Pick Journal entry.
- Select the appropriate account under the Account column.
- Add a Description of what the journal entry is for.
- Choose Opening Balance Equity on the second row of the Account column.
I have included some screenshots for you to refer to visually.
