Hi there, @PSconsulting. 

 

At the moment, the option to pull up a journal entry showing all payroll transactions is unavailable.

 

You can run the Transaction Detail by Account report and customize it to show your payroll transactions instead.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Reports page, then enter Transaction Detail by Account report in the Search field.
  2. Click Customize., then select the date you want to view in the Report period drop-down menu.
  3. Select the Filter option.
  4. Put a checkmark in the Employee option.
  5. Click Run report.

 

You can now see your payroll transactions. You might want to save this report for your future reference. Simply click the Save customization, then look for this report in the Custom reports tab when needed.

 

Get back to me, and I'll be there to help if you have additional concerns about running a payroll report in QuickBooks.

This is unacceptable and why Quickbooks online is not as good as Quickbooks desktop.  This is a normal accounting report and is not available without building it myself.  

The same reports available in the desktop version, specifically employee journal in excell, should be available in the online version.

Hi there, PWellman.

 

I know the steps of how you can run a journal entry report for employees in QuickBooks Online.

 

If you want to run a report with multiple journal entries, you can follow the steps below:

 

  1. Go to the Reports menu.
  2. Type in "Journal" in the search bar, then select it
  3. Click on Customize, then make the following customization: 

    a.  ​For General, choose the date.
    b.  For Rows/Columns, uncheck Name, then select Employee.
    c.   Filter — Select Transaction Type, then choose Journal Entry from the drop-down.
     
  4. Hit Run report.
  5. To print, select the Print icon. To export the report to Excel or as PDF, select the Export icon.

 

To learn how you can print a single journal entry report, I've added this article as a reference: Print a journal entry report in QuickBooks Online

 

If you'd also like to get more insights about your reports in QuickBooks, you can check out this link: Customize reports in QuickBooks Online.
