Journal Entries and QuickBooks Integration

When you use the integration between Vantagepoint and QuickBooks Online, you enter journal entries in either QuickBooks Online or Vantagepoint.

Journal Entries Entered in QuickBooks Online

Journal entries that you make in QuickBooks Online are not updated in Vantagepoint since the general ledger and financial reports are maintained only in QuickBooks Online.

Any reversing journal entries that you make in QuickBooks Online for journal entries that originate from Vantagepoint are not updated in Vantagepoint.

Journal Entries Entered in Vantagepoint

Journal entries that you make and post in Vantagepoint in Transaction Center > Transaction Entry > Journal Entries are added to QuickBooks Online.

Journal entries made in Vantagepoint support revenue, work-in-progress, and unit transactions.

In QuickBooks Online, you see the Vantagepoint 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.

To reverse journal entries that were created in Vantagepoint, you must make the reversing entries in Vantagepoint, not in QuickBooks Online. The reversing entries from Vantagepoint are added to QuickBooks Online.

For more information on how to enter and post journal entries in Vantagepoint, see:

Tax Codes and Journal Entries

Entering tax codes in journal entries in Vantagepoint is not supported.

Deleting and Undoing Journal Entries

Deleting transactions in QuickBooks Online and undoing postings in Vantagepoint are not supported, meaning that the deletion or undoing in one product does not get applied in the other product .

To delete a journal entry in both QuickBooks Online and Vantagepoint:

  • In QuickBooks Online, delete the journal entry. (The matching journal entry in Vantagepoint is not deleted.)
  • In Vantagepoint, undo the posting for the matching journal entry in Utilities > Transactions > Undo Posting. (This does not affect the journal entry in QuickBooks Online.)
