Thank you for reaching out to us, Ber-Bay. When you say non-posting transaction, this is recorded in the system for reference or planning purposes but does not affect accounts or balances in the general ledger. 
 
Budgets are typically considered non-posting transactions since these are planning tools and are not tied directly to financial transactions.
 
Deferred Charges can also be considered a non-posting transaction because they represent expenses or costs that are recorded for future recognition and don't immediately impact the ledger at the time of creation.
 
On the other hand, a sales invoice can be considered a posting transaction, as it affects both accounts receivable and revenue. While a general invoice may be posting or non-posting, depending on its status. Once finalized, it becomes a posting transaction.

 

To help you better understand the purpose and use of some of our default accounts that you can use when creating transactions, check this out for your reference: Manage Default and Special Accounts in your QuickBooks Online Chart of Accounts.

 

With the information provided above, you'll have an idea on which of the following transactions can be classified as posting or non-posting one. You can always reply below if you have any other questions about your QuickBooks transactions. Remember, we're always here to help you.
