How do I adjust general ledger account balances?

How to adjust General Ledger account balances in Sage 50 Accounting.

Use General Journal entries to adjust General Ledger accounts.

1. Select Tasks, General Journal Entry.
2. Enter or select the Date of the transactions you want to enter.
   • Sage 50 defaults this date to the system date. If the accounting period is different than the system date, it displays the first day of that period.
3. Select the Reverse Transaction box to reverse it automatically on the first day of the next accounting period. Reversing means that debits become credits and credits become debits.
4. Enter a Reference for the transaction up to 20 characters.
5. For each line, enter or select a GL Account. To display a list of existing accounts, type a “?” in the GL Account ID field, or select the Lookup button.
6. Enter a description for the transaction if desired.
7. For each line, enter an amount in either the Debit or Credit columns.
8. If the transaction is associated with a job, enter or select a Job ID.
9. Once the Out of Balance field is zero (0.00), select Save to record it in the General Journal.
