Hello, I'd like to move deferred revenue from July 1st, 2020 to Feb 28th, 2021. The amount and HST amount are known however, I'm unsure how to properly record this in the journal entry. As well I'd like to match this revenue with the associated invoice in the system. So that payment for payment recorded as received Feb 28th, 2021. I'm not sure if this is a possibility. I look forward to your support.

Hi there Pentavere,

 

Making sure to setup your adjusting journal entries correctly is an important step in making sure your books reflect the right values. QuickBooks is a robust tool that can help you keep track of various types of income and expenses. I can point you to the right direction.

 

A journal entry would be the best bet to move that money to another account. In order to know which account to move it to, I'd recommend contacting your accountant for advice. Their accounting knowledge and understanding of best business practices will be able to let you know which account could be used in this case. If you want to add your accountant to your QuickBooks account in order for them to see your books, you can navigate to My Accountant and enter their contact info. If you don't have an accountant and are looking for one with QuickBooks experience near you, you can select the Find a pro to help button.

 

As for the journal entry being linked to your invoice, it's not something that can be done. What you can do is put a note in the invoice or journal entry referencing to the other transaction in order to be able to locate it. If this is something you'd like to see in the future. you can leave feedback by going into the Gear Icon and Feedback. The comments left in that section are taken into consideration by the developers when creating new features for QuickBooks Online.

 

If you need any more information, feel free to let me know in the comments.
