Hi there, @jeffbrown614.

Thank you for reaching back to the Community. Good job in creating the Journal Entry. The reason why you don't see the receive payments its because you haven't run any invoice. So journal entry helps you record the transaction. 

After creating a journal entry, we need to switch the payment for the invoice to the reversing journal entry to receive the payments. You can follow my colleague steps provided above. 

To learn more how journal entry works, you can check out this article: A QuickBooks Refresher on Journal Entries. 

I suggest reaching out to your account for advice to prevent any discrepancies in your book. 

You can also check this article how to handle bounce check: Manage a bounced check you wrote. 

Please let me know if you need anything else, I'll be here to lend a hand. Have a great day!
