General Journal Entry

Somehow I am stuck on a quickbook spreadhseet that is using "general journal' entries instead of 'CHK.' The problem with this is general journal assigns numbers to each line and that shows up on reports. How do I change it to "CHK?" Even if I was to start over from scratch it automatically assigns entries as a general journal entry.   Help!?

Reports will often include the document number for transactions on all the transaction rows, though the number is usually only stored on the 'source' row.

 

What report are you looking at?

 

Why is it an issue that the General Journals have numbers? Note that if you don't like it when Journals have numbers, you can always delete the number, which is optional - as it is for all transactions.

 

There isn't a way to change a Journal into a Check. If it should have been/ needs to be a Check, delete it and recreated it as a check.
