Which type of transactions cannot be tagged at this time within QuickBooks online?

Journal entries in QuickBooks Online are unique in that they are typically used for adjusting entries or recording transactions that don’t fit neatly into the more common types of transactions, such as invoices, bills, or expenses. Unlike these other transaction types, which generally have a direct and specific workflow that includes customer or vendor interactions, journal entries are more flexible and often rely on user-defined debits and credits.

As a result, tagging options for transactions in QuickBooks Online are limited to those that are more structured and can be easily mapped to customer or vendor activities. Transactions like bills, invoices, and expenses involve specific details such as vendors, customers, amounts, and dates, making them suitable for tagging and categorization as they align closely with business operations. In contrast, journal entries lack the same structured context, leading to the conclusion that tagging is not available for them at this time. This distinction reflects the broader goal of ensuring accurate tracking and reporting of business transactions, which is better served by allowing tagged transactions that fit within the more standard frameworks of business accounting.
