Entering journal transactions
Instead of creating the transaction from scratch, you can begin with an existing Journal Transaction template. From File, select Load/Delete Template.
To enter a journal transaction:
- Open 1-3 Journal Transactions.
- In the Transaction# box, enter the transaction number.
- In the Date box, enter the transaction date.
- In the Description box, enter a brief statement about the line item.
- In the Status list, click the record status.
- If this is a bank-related transaction, select the category from the Banking Category list.
- In the grid, do the following:
- In the Description cell, enter a brief statement about the line item.
- In the Account cell, enter the ledger account you want.
- In the Subaccount cell, enter the subsidiary account you want.
- In the appropriate Debit Amount or Credit Amount cell, enter the amount.
- Repeat step 6 for each item.
- On the File menu, click Save.
Tips:
- If the transaction references a purchase order number, enter it in the Order# box.
- When using over/under billing, you can reverse the entry in the next period. How?
