Thanks for getting back on this thread, Jgibbons52. I'm here to share some insights about how QuickBooks display the reports.

 

QuickBooks Desktop uses a concept called Source and Targets to apply accounting principles and processes, like recording transactions and displaying reports. I've added a brief overview of the two below:

 

  • Source is the summary of information about a transaction. It contains all source data (source account, source name, source memo and source amount, etc.).
  • Targets provide detailed information about the transaction and include all target data (target accounts, target names, target memos, target amounts, etc.).

 

To view the transaction journal report, you can press Ctrl+Y on your keyboard. The first line shows the source data, while the rest are target data.

 

For more details, please see this article: Understand Reports.

 

Additionally, I've included these articles that'll help you personalize your reports and save their current customized settings:

 

 

I'm only a post away if you need more help in running reports, Jgibbons52. It's always my pleasure to help you out again.
