"When you create an invoice, all items go to 'SALES' and then need to do a journey entry each time to reclass to accounts. can you do directly to accts from invoice?"
This is a normal way to create an invoice. When creating an invoice, the SALES item normally goes to an Income account. You can choose whatever Income account you want from the Chart of Accounts.
Why do you need to write a journal entry to reclass to other accounts? What is the specific type of ACCOUNTS you are referring to? All you have to do create a new product/service item (Dashboard > Sales > Products/Service > New) and direct the INCOME ACCOUNT field to any specific account you want. If some reason, if you want the single product/service item to create an Invoice, but you want to distribute to different accounts, you can create BUNDLE from the product/service page as well.
The bottom line is you may not need to write a Journal Entry, QBO should be able to handle sales transactions in most cases.
