The Journal Entry contains all the accounting entries recorded in the books of accounts. The system uses the double entry bookeeping system which has two equal and corresponding sides known as debit and credit. Most journal entries can be generated automatically as a relfection carried out from the front-end modules such as entering Sales Invoice, Billing and Collections. You can manually create or modify journal entries if you have the necessary access. For manually encoded entries, the system can automatically generated the journal entries based on the TransactionID proforma entry. See Transaction Proforma Entry for details.
The Journal Entry window composes five grid panels described as follows:
1. Books Of Accounts. This grid shows all the books of accounts of the company. If nothing is shown, update first the Books of Accounts master file.
2. Accounting Calendar/Period Open for Updates. This grid shows the open accounting calendar that allows the user to enter journal entry for a given period. You must open an Accounting Period before you can enter journal entries for that period. If you enter GLDate outside the open accounting period, a red icon error provider will be shown on the cell and you won't be able to save your updates. See Accounting Period master file for details.
3. Document Header. This grid contains the list of recorded accounting documents with general information such as TransactionDate, GLDate, EntityName, Description, etc. Press CTRL+F1 to view the Data Definition.
4. Subsidiary Ledger. This grid is used as working paper to automatically generate journal entries based on TransactionID. The entries here are also used in generating SLSP VAT (2550M/Q) and QAP (1601E/Q) reports. Those entries with TransactionTypeID of Importaion, Purchases and Sales will be marked and exported as VAT transactions and those entries with ATC and WTaxAmount will be marked and exported as Withholding Tax transactions.
