Journal

In traditional bookkeeping, a chronological list of transactions generated on a day-to-day basis. A QuickBooks register is the equivalent of a journal for one balance sheet account (for example, accounts payable).

A QuickReport for an income or expense account is the equivalent of a journal for one of those accounts. The journal report is a list of transactions, in the order in which they were entered, in traditional two-column (debit and credit) format. Finally, the transactions by date report is a list of transactions in order of transaction date.
