Hi, 

So in our AR/AP Summary there are Journal Entries that were recorded to close some of the bills and invoices? Is there a way to match the JEs to the corresponding bills/invoices to close them out?

I appreciate you seeking guidance here in the Community, @shang06.

 

I'm pleased to discuss how you can close existing bills and invoices using journal entries in QuickBooks Online.

 

A journal entry credit can be applied to unpaid invoices so you can close outstanding transactions. With this, ensure to utilize the appropriate account upon creating a journal entry where you should have Accounts Receivable for invoices and Accounts Payable for bills. I also recommend contacting an accountant for further assistance, or you can visit this website to look for one: Find a QuickBooks ProAdvisor.

 

To begin with, here's how you can apply a journal entry credit to an invoice:

 

  1. On the left pane, select + New.
  2. Choose Receive payment, then select a customer.
  3. Pick the invoice under Outstanding Transactions.
  4. Select the journal entry to apply it as a credit under Credits.
  5. Once done, click Save and close.

 

On the other hand, proceed to these steps to apply a journal entry credit to a bill:

 

  1. Select + New, then Pay bills.
  2. Pick the bill you need to link to your journal entry.
  3. Click Save and close.

 

Moreover, you can run and customize different reports to have an overview of the financial status of your business. This can help you create informed decisions to ensure your business is doing well.
