[GL] Creating a GL Journal Entry

Use a GL Journal Entry to move amounts between GL accounts.

Steps:

1. Go to GL > Programs > GL Journal Transaction Entry

2. Create a batch in the correct month

3. Add a new sequence and enter the journal details

4. Use the blue chevron to add offsetting entry lines

5. Go to File > Process Batch

6. Preview reports, then post the batch when the batch total is 0

Unbalanced entries are typically only used for beginning balances.

Important Notes:

• GL Journal Entries only affect the GL

• They do not appear in subledgers

• If another module must be updated:

  • WIP account: use a JC Cost Adjustment

  • Cash account: use a CM Outstanding Entry
