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:
