Navigation

Select General Ledger Main menu > General Journal Entry.

If batch processing is enabled for General Journal Entry, the Batch Selection window appears. You can create a new batch or select an existing batch. A selection must be made before the General Journal Entry window is available.

Overview

Use General Journal Entry to enter and post journal entries that consist of details closely related to a single purpose, as well as adjustments and miscellaneous entries. If batch processing is enabled, you can enter journal entries in batches.

You can create journal entries from existing standard journals or posted journals, and create multiple standard journals for each source journal. You can also allocate an amount from one account to another based on a predefined allocation. Any journal entered, but not yet updated, can be displayed and maintained when necessary. If the Track Deleted Journals check box is selected in the General Ledger Options window, deleted journals will display.

If other modules are integrated with the General Ledger module, daily postings from these sources are updated to the general ledger when the Daily Transaction Register is updated. For more information, see Daily Transaction Register. If other modules are not integrated with the General Ledger module, General Journal Entry is the primary window for entering and posting journal entries.
