Create a General Journal

The system is fully integrated, and so journals can be posted between any of the lower level accounts e.g. between different customer accounts, between customer and supplier accounts, or between bank accounts and other non-bank accounts.

To create a journal, go to Accounts > Accounts and click New > New Journal and enter the following:

  • Enter a “To” account where the amount will be posted;
  • Enter a “From” account where the amount will be taken;
  • Enter an accounting date;
  • Enter the amount;
  • Choose the currency;
  • Add a reference if needed;
  • Add any additional narrative i.e. an explanation of the journal;
  • Click “Create”.

Journals are rarely required in the system due to the transaction templates that are available.
