Type

A code that identifies the type of transaction (check, deposit, etc.). You cannot enter transaction type codes yourself. If you are entering a new transaction, QuickBooks determines the appropriate code and enters it as follows:

This code... Appears when you enter...
CHK Checks and withdrawals in bank accounts.
DEP Deposits in bank accounts.
CC Credit card charges in credit card accounts.
CC CRED Credit card CREDITS in credit card accounts.
GENJRNL Increases OR decreases in asset, liability, or equity accounts.

You'll also see codes for other types of transactions — for example, BILLPMT for bill payments. QuickBooks adds these transactions to the register when you record them by filling out the appropriate form. For a complete listing of all the transaction type codes, see:
