Instead of direct posting, I would like to follow the old conventional system of posting thru double entry journals.

I like to have :

Purchases journals

Sales journals

Disbursements Journals 

Deposits journals

General journals

 

At present, Quick Books  has one type of journal for posting.

I want more then one type.

Hello @Sojat ,

 

This is why QB calls their journal entries, "General Journal Entry", because they do not provide specialized ones.  The journal entries you are asking for are all done behind the scenes when using Quickbook's special forms; e.g. Bills, Bill Credits, Credit Card forms for Purchases, Invoices and Sales Receipt forms for Sales, Bill Payments for Disbursements, Receive Payments and Make Deposits for Deposits.

 

There is nothing stopping you from using GJE's for all of your transactions if you want to.  But to get them into the various sub-ledgers, e.g. A/R, A/P, etc. you will have to tab over for each line entry and enter the name of your customer or vendor.  Quickbooks has several different types of names, Customer, Vendor, Employee, Other, etc.

 

In the end, I think you would be happier to learn how to use QB Desktop and it's various forms, which then gives you the full gamut of reporting available.  It may seem daunting at first, but is not as difficult as it seems at first.

 

Good luck :)
