This feature works the same in versions 2011–2016 of QuickBooks. You can enter transactions directly by using the account register or by using forms. Most balance sheet accounts listed in the chart of accounts have a register that can be accessed by double-clicking the account in the list. QuickBooks registers look like the paper bank register you use to keep track of your banking transactions. Many transactions are entered using these intuitive forms while QuickBooks records the entry in the appropriate account registers behind the scenes. The forms and windows for entering transactions usually resemble the paper version of the transaction. QuickBooks uses basic forms and windows to simplify the recording of transactions without requiring any understanding of accounting concepts.
