Journal Entries and QuickBooks Integration

Enter journal entries in either QuickBooks Online or DPS.

Journal Entries Entered in QuickBooks Online

Journal entries entered in QuickBooks Online are not updated in DPS since the general ledger and financial reports are maintained only in QuickBooks Online.

Journal Entries Entered in DPS

In the DPS desktop application, enter journal entries in Transaction Center > Transaction Entry. Post the transaction files for the journal entries in Transaction Center > Transaction Posting.

After you enter and post journal entries in DPS, they are added to QuickBooks Online the next time that the updating occurs between DPS and QuickBooks Online.

In QuickBooks Online, you see the DPS journal entries in the following locations:

  • Reports > Accountant Reports > Journal
  • Accounting > Chart of Accounts
  • Search (magnifying glass icon in the toolbar) > Advanced Search: In the transactions search field, select Journal Entries.
Warning: To reverse journal entries that were created in DPS, you must make the reversing entries in DPS, not in QuickBooks Online. The reversing entries are added to QuickBooks Online the next time the updating occurs between QuickBooks Online and DPS. Any reversing journal entries that you make in QuickBooks Online for journal entries that originate from DPS do not get updated in DPS when the updating occurs between QuickBooks Online and DPS.
