Cashbook: Transactional Journal

Audit Journals & Journal Reports

Journals are performed to move funds between different admin and/or customer files. This does not affect the balance of your cashbook like a manual transaction.

What type of Journal should you use?
The type of journal will depend on which Cashbook (Bank Statement) the incorrectly allocated transaction is found. It is important to first check which cashbook the incorrectly allocated transaction is sitting on so that the correct journal is used to reallocate the transaction.



When to Credit and Debit a File for Reallocation?
It is always important that you perform the opposite transaction journal against the incorrectly allocated transaction.

  1. If the incorrect allocation is a credit on a file. You will use a debit journal on the specific file (i.e., select the wrong file or suspense file under the debit column) and credit the correct file (i.e., select the correct file under the credit column)
  2. If the incorrect allocation is a debit on a file. You will use a credit journal (i.e., select the wrong file or suspense file under the credit column) and debit the correct file (i.e., select the correct file under the debit column)
