I'm trying to follow the guidance here: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/learn-support/en-ca/help-article/import-export-files/import-journal-entries-quickbooks-online/L4tQBwbs7_CA_en_CA

However, when I navigate to "Import Data" there is no option to import journal entries. I have disabled account numbers as required. I am using QuickBooks Online Advanced. Is there something else I need to do to do a JE import? Is this feature disabled now? The above support article was updated as recently as January 2023.

Hello there, @someaccountant.

Being able to import Journal Entries (JE) to QuickBooks Online (QBO) is a great idea. However, it is only available to some QBO regions like Canada and the United Kingdom. As a workaround, you may want to consider using a third-party application to import them.

You can check for supported apps through this link: QuickBooks Apps Store or from the Apps menu.

Here's how:

In your QBO account, go to the Apps menu at the left pane to get to the Finds Apps page.
Enter a keyword in the Search address (i.e. Import).
Choose the app you want to use.
Once ready, click on Get ap now.

For more information about importing in QBO, kindly visit: Common questions about importing data to QuickBooks Online.

If it is a great idea, and it is available elsewhere... then why do US users have to put up with a lesser product?

Not only, but to have to pay more for having additional third party access to our sensitive data? This does not make sense, an explanation seems appropriate.

Thank you.

Yes, it's very frustrating when things in the Help pages don't properly say what is available in what country and what tier. And also what TYPE of account can access certain features. So frustrating! Things like UNDO etc etc also has numerous help articles that are inaccurate (only Accountant accounts can use many of them!)
