Hello there. Let me help you understand which two general ledgers are affected when creating invoices for sales in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

 

When issuing an invoice, the debit account should be Account Receivable (A/R) and Cost of Goods Sold (COGS), while the credit account is the one set for the item.

 

Moreover, if you want to personally check the details, you can see the Transaction Journal of your created invoice. Here's how:

 

  1. In Sales, click Edit of the invoice you want to check.
  2. Select Take tour and choose the Actions dropdown.
  3. If done, click Transaction Journal.

 

On the other hand, see this article when creating customer statements for customers' outstanding balances or invoices that will be overdue: Create and send customer statements in QuickBooks Online.
