Good day to you, @pmmillan,

Thanks for visiting our site and requesting for some updates about importing journal entries in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

The import preference for journal entry transactions is currently unavailable. However, I can provide a workaround that you can try if you are using a brand new QBO for South Africa account. The system runs beta for new accounts to import CSV files of the journal entry lines. All you need to do is open a new journal entry and import the data from there.

Don't worry, I've listed the steps for you to follow. Refer to them below:

1. Click the + New icon and choose Journal entry.
2. On the upper right-hand section of the transaction, click Import.
   
3. Now choose a CSV file to create the journal entry faster.

Please know that we take your requests or suggestions seriously, and our engineers are working hard towards this goal. We can't provide the turnaround time if they will release additional journal entry settings, because they work on this internally.

Don't worry, if there are new updates for QuickBooks transactions and preferences, it will be communicated through in-product ads. 

I'll be right here if you need further assistance with your journal entries and other things in QuickBooks. Just leave a comment below. Have a nice day!
