Adding Journal Entries

To enter a batch of G/L Journal Entries you need to do the following steps:
1. From the General Ledger Module, choose the Data Entry "Ribbon" and the Add/Edit Journal Entries Module step.
2. The G/L Session Settings form will be displayed.
3. Select the division, department and product most of the journal entries being entered belong to as the default.
4. Choose the [Add] button. The G/L Journal Entry Screen will appear in ADD mode.
5. Enter lines of journal entries in the detail section until all journal entries are entered.
6. Note: If you need to delete a journal entry, select the line you want to delete and then press Ctrl + - to delete the line.
7. Choose [Close Window] to exit when the journal entries are complete.
8. Journal entries must be in balance (total debits must equal total credits) in order to update.
9. If the journal entries are out of balance, you will receive a message stating the amount you are out of balance.
10. Press [OK] to return to the G/L Journal Entries form and make the necessary adjustments to bring the entries into balance.
11. Then press [Close Window]. Exiting with the journal entries in balance will update the journal entry table and return you to the main Module.
