Cause
Resolution
  1. Select GL, Entries, Post to Journals.
  2. Select the Journal. Select one of the standard journal entries or a special journal to record your transaction.
  3. Select the Type of Entry.
    • Standard: A regular journal entry with at least one debit and one credit
    • Reversing: Posts like a standard entry for the current month and creates an exact opposite entry for the following month. The opposite entry posts when you close the month in General Ledger
    • Recurring: A transaction predefined with Maintain Recurring Entries
    • Correcting: A new entry posted to correct a previous journal entry (exactly opposite the original entry)
    • Void: A new entry posted to correct a previous journal entry. You can exclude voided entries from reports
    • Edit: You can change the description for an entry posted in the current month (including future entries). However, you can’t edit the description of a reversing entry
  4. Enter the Transaction Date, Reference #, and Description.
  5. Select the Account #s and the amount to Debit and/or Credit.
  6. Post.

Only balanced journals will post, meaning your total debits must match your total credits. A journal is balanced when the Unposted Balance at the bottom of the display is .00.
