QuickBooks Makes Journal Entries? Automatically?

A QuickBooks user creates a form and then hits "save and close".  What did that just do?  It actually automatically created a journal entry!  To see the entry, go back to form created.  Some versions of QuickBooks have a button on the bar directly above the invoice labeled "Journal".  If your version does not, hold down the Control key on your keyboard and hit "y".  A report will pop up on the screen with your journal entry.

We may not be finished yet!   Some versions do not automatically show the debit and credit columns.  If your report does not, click the "modify" button on the upper left hand side of the report.  In the "column" section of that screen, simply put a check mark next to "debit" and "credit" and then click "ok".  Your report will now show the debit and credit columns.

Just remember - the form must be saved before you can see the journal entry.
