Hello there, having separate Description and Memo columns in the General Ledger would definitely make things easier.

 

Currently, the standard General Ledger report in QuickBooks Online combines all entries into a single "Memo/Description" column, making it impossible to separate them. It would be great to suggest this idea to the product team.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon.
  2. Select Feedback, and share your thoughts. They really do review these suggestions for future updates.

 

QuickBooks Online doesn't have a single-account ledger report with a side-by-side debit and credit column. The closest option is to view the account register, which shows all transactions for one account with a running balance.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to All Apps, then select Accounting, and choose Chart of Accounts.
  2. Click View register or Run report for some account types.

 

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions along the way!
