General Journal Entry

The General Journal Entry is for accountants or people who prefer the traditional system of accounting by entering transactions in a general journal.  If you are unfamiliar with how a general journal works, you do not need to use this form.

If you are not an accountant, you might use the general journal to transfer amounts from one account to another.

To view the Journal Entry:

  1.    On the Banking menu, click Make Journal Entry

How to make a record entry?

  1. Click on Add Item button

  2. Select the type of account, for example account, customer or vendor

  3. Select an account, either the account name or a customer if the type is customer or a vendor if the type is vendor

  4. Add the amount for either Debit or Credit

The journal entry must be balanced for the transaction to save.  The journal entry is balanced when the total debits is equal the total credits.
