Using it as a tool, transactions that have gone out of balance can be identified.

It also acts as an assistant for identifying odd entries for accounts on other reports.

For Accrual: To show the total value of each post to the accounts, the report displays as accrual.

For Current form: Regardless of filter or dates, the Transaction Journal  only displays information for the current transaction form.

For Customizable: The Transaction Journal can be customized just like any other detail report. You can add or remove columns and filters.

For Sort order: It will automatically display in the order of entry to the transaction if the Transaction Journal report cannot be sorted.

For Source & Targets: Each entry below the source line is the target (The top line of the Transaction Journal is the source line).

For Non-posting: Debits and credits relative to each account as if it were a posting entry will be displayed by non-posting transactions (sales orders, estimates, purchase orders)  .

Example of scenarios:

  • The Cost of Goods Sold and Inventory Asset accounts appear on an invoice for a specific item.
  • For inventory parts used on an invoice, this is an expected functionality.
  • With different asset accounts, situations where multiple asset accounts appear can be attributed to multiple items.
  • The Inventory Asset and Cost of Goods Sold accounts appear in the Transaction Journal on a transaction receiving inventory.
  • A Negative quantity on hand occurs when the item entries occur. When the inventory was in negative quantity, QuickBooks creates an adjustment to correct for losses .
  • There is an entry for the Cost of Goods Sold for a return cost at less than the average cost on a Bill Credit.

To track the loss on the background of the credit, QuickBooks create entries.
