Hello there, Choi. Since you mentioned the Trial Balance, is this adjustment related to income or expenses? I think this is what you're referring to, as the report shows the credit and debit balances of your account.

 

Yes, you can use journal entries, as they help categorize revenues and expenses properly and match them to the correct accounting period. However, I recommend contacting your accountant first for accurate record-keeping.

 

However, if you’re referring to inventory quantity-on-hand adjustments, QuickBooks Online (QBO) provides dedicated features to handle inventory tracking and updates. These tools enable you to add, decrease, or adjust inventory quantities directly within the system, ensuring that your inventory records are accurately aligned with your books.
