A Journal Entry is used to record a business transaction in the accounting records of an organization. A journal entry can be recorded in the general ledger, but sometimes in a subsidiary ledger that is then summarized and rolled forward into the general ledger. The general ledger is then used to create financial statements for the organization.
This reference material is not intended to describe the accounting principles around journal entries and the general ledger but is intended to describe the functionality of the new and enhanced atrieveERP Journal Entry module.
