Entering a reversing journal entry in QuickBooks Pro

Many users only have a need for the QuickBooks Pro program.  It is an excellent program if you do not need all of the "perks" that come with Premier program.  

Premier has a nice little button that lets you easily enter the reversing transaction and it creates it for you.  But what if you have Pro?  Here is a quick way to enter this:

The first screen shot shows the journal entry transaction I am going to reverse:


This next screen shot show that you can go to edit, then duplicate to create the next transaction that we will reverse:

All you do is reverse the debits and credits on the duplicated transaction which is entered in the next month.














I used a generic journal entry for my example from a sample company in QuickBooks Pro.  

Normally, you use reversing entries at the end of the year.  For example, I have a company that had a payroll for the last week of 2010, but the pay date occurred new fiscal period.  I entered that as a journal entry dated 12/31/10 to accrued payroll  and then entered reversing entry for January 1, 2011.
