As of the moment, deleting journal entries in bulk is not directly supported in QuickBooks Online, @AJSTeam1. This is because each entry usually needs to be reviewed and deleted individually to avoid accidental loss of data. This careful process ensures that each deletion is intentional and helps preserve your crucial financial information accurately.
Here's how to manually delete each journal entries:
- Navigate to Transactions menu and click Chart of Accounts.
- Under the Action column, select View Register for the account associated with the journal entry you want to delete.
- Locate the journal entry in the account register, identified by the word Journal in the Ref No. or Type column.
- Click on the journal entry to expand its details, then choose Delete.
- Confirm the deletion by selecting Yes.
For more detailed instructions, you can refer to this article: Delete a journal entry.
Alternatively. you may want to visit our market or go directly to the Apps in QuickBooks Online to look for a third-party app that can delete multiple entries. Here's how:
- Navigate to Apps menu in the left corner of your screen.
- Click Find apps.
- Type the third-party app for deleting multiple entries in the Search bar or select Browse Categories.

Additionally, you can allocate a transaction between two accounting periods or to correct a debit and credit error, you can utilize a process that reverses the debits and credits without deleting the original journal entry. This ensures that the original transaction remains intact while properly adjusting the accounting records. Once corrected, you can then print it.
