Remember that all debits and credits must equal out.                                                          

 

Journal Entries are made to both cash and accrual books. However, some accounts are not shown on cash basis, such as Accounts Receivable and Fee Discounts. In these cases, one side of the journal entry may show up on cash reports, while the other side will not. When making journal entries with non-cash basis accounts be cautious of the possibility that one of these transactions could throw off your books.
 

NEW: Duplicate an existing Journal Entry

If you have a journal entry that will need to be entered consistently using the same accounts, you have the ability to duplicate existing entries.

 
To create a duplicate:
  1. Locate the original journal entry you wish to recreate from your Register, or from the General Ledger.

  2. Open the Journal entry for editing and select "Duplicate Entry."
