About Journal Entries
Journal Entries are a standard method of recording adjustments and transactions into your general ledger. The ManageMore journal entry screen allows for ease-of-use as well as advanced functionality. Among the features of this screen are automatic reversal, auto-fill, alias code entry, and statistical data entry. Entries can be saved and posted immediately to the general ledger, or can be saved for later posting by an authorized individual.
