Create Journal Entry Process

When you first open the Journal Entry window, you are starting a Journal Entry Session. Journal entries are created and optionally posted during a session.

 

Prior to the Journal Entry window being opened, you will be allowed to enter a batch amount for the session. The batch amount allows you to verify journal entries by comparing the batch amount to the total debits from the journal entries created during the session.

When the Journal Entry window is closed, unposted and voided entries are saved to the unposted entry file, and the session is completed. Unposted entries can be posted later on, and voided entries are removed when you close the period or year.
