JOURNAL ENTRIES
STEPS: CREATE A JOURNAL ENTRY
3. Click on the Add button. A dialog box opens.
The date field displays today’s date. Change the date if needed. Enter an Entry
number.
4. In the dialog box, follow these steps:
• Click on the Add button to add a new line to the journal entry. A line in
the table will be highlighted. The line has columns (these are also called
“fields” because when you click on them, they become active and you can
enter information).
• The first column in the line is “Account Name”. This is the account that
you will apply the line to. The field becomes a dropdown menu. Select the
account from the dropdown.
• The second column is “Debit” where you add the amount you will deduct.
• The third column is “Credit” where you add the amount that you will add.
• The “Description” column is used to add a description (optional). This is
a text field.
