On the journal entry screen there'll be a column for name. Enter the vendor name in that column. QB has to know to which account the transaction needs to be applied.

When you are affecting A/R or A/P with a journal entry, you must assign a customer & a vendor respectively. This way the system knows where to put the outstanding balance.
Hope this helps. If so please mark solved, if not please ask more questions. Thanks!

Your comment was to list the name in the name column. I do this and I get the same error message.

Are you sure you put a Vendor's name in? Customers will not work.
Please mark the post Solved or give me a "thumbs up" if I could help.

Why are you entering a Journal entry anyway? You shouldn't have to enter very many JEs in QuickBooks. If you're working with Accounts Payable, could you enter a bill or credit for the vendor?
PLEASE mark this answer as solved (click the button under the answer in the lower, right corner) or post additional questions.
