The procedure for processing both cash and non-cash journal entries is outlined below:
From the Input menu, click Journal Entries.
Complete the Journal Entries window.
After typing in all ledger entries for the transaction, check the Entry Balance field to ensure the transaction is in balance. Where the transaction is in balance, the Entry Balance field should contain a zero.
Once the transaction is in balance, click Post to update your client with the transaction information.
On the Save Entries window, click Post entries to post the entries to a journal transaction. If you require the journal to be both posted and then reversed in the following month, choose the Post and Reverse option. Journals posted and reversed at the end of the year will show in the following year once rollover occurs.
If required, repeat the above steps to create additional transactions.
