Thanks Stan for the response and sorry for the confused language. By
accountant-made entries I meant certain bookkeeping actions by the end
of an accounting period, such as manually calculating the depreciated
asset value, credit an asset account and debit an expense account
accordingly. If I want to find out all these "accountant-made"
transactions, is there an easy way to just filter through the general
journal entries? Certainly creating a customized report would be an
option, but I will have to change the report options every time when
adding or deleting an asset account, which is not very convenient. Thanks!

I confess I don't understand your distinction between "accountant-made
entries" and others, so this may or may not be helpful:
Can you set up a filter that will capture the entries you want? A
time-honored way would be to tag "accountant-made entries" with some
unique character code in the Description or Notes field, and filter on
that character code.
Another thought: You mentioned depreciation. Can you distinguish between
"accountant-made entries" and others based on the presence or absence of
a split in the transaction being posted to one of a particular set of
account names? If so, I'll bet there's a report that presents the
information you want, and on the report's Options screen you can specify
those accounts.
