How to 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 don’t match, the entry can’t be saved
Sage is unable to advise as to what amounts or accounts to use 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 you've entered the desired amounts for the needed accounts, and the Out of Balance field is zero, click Save.
