I've migrated my desktop data over to online. It went well. I ran a P&L with All dates. Only one number different: Cost of Goods sold is higher by $502,830.96. Coincidentally, on my Balance sheet, there is an identical entry under Accounts Receivable. Fix with a Journal entry?

It's great to hear that your migration from QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) to QuickBooks Online (QBO) was successful, Wayne.

 

You can use a journal entry to adjust the Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) amount in your Profit and Loss (P & L) statement. However, I recommend consulting with your accountant to determine the appropriate account for this adjustment and to receive further guidance.

 

If you don't have an accountant, you can easily find one here and add them to your QBO account.

 

Also, I'd like to suggest these informative articles that will assist you in managing your P & L report more effectively:

 

 

Please let me know if you have follow-up concerns with your P&L report. I've got your back.

Run the comparative trial balance reports to find the discrepancies. You may discover transactions that you need to fix later. Use the Journal Entry as the last resort only.
