I have Desktop Pro Plus 2023. How can I display DEBIT/CREDIT column totals? This info would be helpful to see while populating the entry.

Hi there, @dmika.

 

At this time, the option to display debit/credit column totals for general journal entries isn't available. In the meantime, you'll see a Totals field below the debit/credit column.

 

 

We recognize that each company has unique needs, and I can see how the feature you're looking for would benefit and empower your business. I recommend sending this request straight to our product engineers through feedback. It helps us improve the features of the program.

 

  1. Go to the Help menu and select Send Feedback Online.
  2. Click the Product Suggestion from the dropdown menu.
  3. Fill out the on-screen instructions in the QuickBooks Feedback window.
  4. After that, click Send Feedback.

 

You can also visit this page or the What's New section on your QuickBooks Desktop to get updates on our latest news about product improvements.

 

As always, feel free to check out our help articles in case you need tips and related links while working with QuickBooks in the future.

MirriamM, 

 

I am a bit confused by your reply. You say the option isn't available, yet you say I can see the Totals field below the debit/credit column (and include a picture), which is exactly what I want. How do I enable this feature? Something in preferences?

Let me address the confusion you’re having about the debit credit column in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT), @dmika.

 

Data problems are frequently the root cause of missing features like columns and the inability to alter events. I may offer troubleshooting instructions to address this issue and allow you to carry on operating the company.

 

You can utilize the Verify Rebuild Data tool in QuickBooks Desktop. It identifies the most commonly known data issues within your company file while resolving them right away. Here are the steps to do it:

 

  1. First, choose Window and then select Close All.
  2. Go to the File menu, and then click on the option of Utilities.
  3. Select the option of Rebuild Data.
  4. Follow the onscreen instruction to back up your data.
  5. When the tool finishes, select OK.
  6. Navigate to the File menu, then hover over Utilities.
  7. Click Verify Data and select Rebuild Now once QuickBooks finds an issue with your company file.

 

If you need further assistance with any of the steps I've provided, let me know by posting a comment below. I'm always around. Take care.
