What is the correct sequence to create a journal entry in QuickBooks Online?

• A. +New > Journal Entry; enter date, debit and credit lines, and Save.
• B. +New > Invoice; enter date, line items, and Save.
• C. Settings > Custom Form Styles > Edit Invoice; modify fields, logo, colors, and Save.
• D. Reports > Export; select data and Save.

Answer: (A)

To create a journal entry in QuickBooks Online, you start from the +New menu and choose Journal Entry. Then you set the date and add debit and credit lines by selecting the appropriate accounts and entering amounts (you can add multiple lines with either debits or credits). The key is that total debits must equal total credits, and when you’re finished you save the entry.

The other options aren’t for journal entries: an Invoice is for billing customers, Settings > Custom Form Styles is for adjusting how forms look, and Reports > Export is for extracting data.
