How do I create a general journal entry?

General journal entries must be double-sided, as with all transactions in Sage 50 Accounting—U.S. Edition; that is, the debit column total must match the credit column total
If the debit and credit totals do not match, the entry cannot be saved
Sage is unable to advise as to what amounts or accounts should be used on a general journal entry; for this type of question, contact your accountant

Click Tasks, General Journal Entry
Enter a Date
Enter a Reference
On the first line, select a GL Account
If desired, enter a Description
Enter an amount in either the Debit or Credit column
If desired, select a Job
Repeat Steps 2-7 on the following lines
Once the desired amounts have been entered for the needed accounts, and the Out of Balance field is zero, click Save
