The Journal Entries section is a daily record, showing each transaction the Debit and Credit charges to specific Ledger accounts. A brief explanation is also included for each transaction.

The majority of transactions are automatically created when posting from the other modules.

The posting of transactions from other modules (i.e. Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, etc.) creates a Journal Entry. You must post these Journal Entries into the General Ledger from the generating module. (Example:  Invoices must be posted from "Post Invoices to Accounting" in ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE (6.3.3).

You may set an Accounting Period as Open or Closed through "General Ledger Setup" in SYSTEM MANAGEMENT (10.2.3 field 9). If you try to post to a period that is Closed, an error message will be displayed and posting will stop. An example of the error message is:  "99/10 is a Closed period. Please open before using".
