Thank you for visiting the QuickBooks Community, abbadab. I'll be sharing steps to ensure you can fix the difference of 45.00 between debits and credits in your Journal Entry in QuickBooks Online.
Since you've confirmed that the transactions were entered correctly in QBO, I suggest reversing the journal entry. Please know that it doesn't delete the original journal entry, this simply reverses the debits and credits to fix the unusual difference. Before doing so, I suggest consulting an accountant to ensure your records are in shipshape. They can provide suggestions on how to properly handle the JE, especially with the difference between debits and credits.
Here's how to
- Select the Gear icon and choose Chart of accounts.
- Find the account you created the journal entry for. Then, select View register.
- Find the journal entry in the account register. The word "Journal" should be in the Ref No. or Type column.
- Choose the journal entry to expand the view. Then, select Edit.
- Select Reverse and click Save when you're done.
