Today, things are automatically controlled using software solutions. In this connection, QuickBooks deserves a special mention as many companies are preferring it over other account software in the market. The register available with QuickBooks is a user-friendly one and easy to use by even a novice.

What is a QuickBooks Register?

When it comes to the register available in QuickBooks for recording transactions, there are two types of registers available – accounts register and check register. No matter which type of register it is, you will find them resembling the manual register that you used to have for your traditional business. They have been designed in such a way to make it convenient for old businessmen to handle the transaction recording task without hassle.

It is recommended to users to not use the check register directly as this register does not have all the fields that you would need to record transactions in an organized way. For example, you will not see Items, Multiple Accounts, Customer/Project, and Billable/Markup fields in the check register. Hence, the data would seem incomplete. On the other hand, if you think you would not require these pieces of information as input, you are free to directly make an entry in a check register.

Why Record Register Transactions in QuickBooks?

Businesses deal with a lot of transactions on a daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, or annual basis. Thus, it becomes tough for them to keep a track of the inflow and outflow of resources. By recording transactions in a register, the companies not only get a chance to organize data and store it properly but also ensure easier and faster retrieval when needed.

When your transactions are recorded in the account register of QuickBooks, you can:

  • Have a look at all the transactions that have occurred in an account
  • Change or delete or deactivate a transaction when required
  • Filter accounts for faster retrieval of specific transactions
