Can I show items in my journal entry?

Hi there, @liz24.

QuickBooks only shows accounts instead of items in a journal entry. Let me discuss this to you in details.

When creating a journal entry, you can only use income, expense, asset, liability, and equity accounts. Thus, the journal report won't show items.

But if you want to enter transactions using journal entry, I suggest seeking help from your accountant. This way, they can offer you some advice on correct accounts to use. You can also read this article for more details: Create a Journal Entry.

In case you need tips and related articles in the future, visit our QuickBooks Community help website for reference: QBO Self-help. 

It'll be our pleasure to help you with your other concerns. Have a great day.
