How do I make adjustments to General Ledger accounts?

General Journal entries are used to make adjustments to General Ledger accounts.

1. Select Tasks, General Journal Entry.
2. Enter or select the Date of the transactions you want to enter.
   Note: Sage 50 defaults this date to the system date. If you are in an accounting period that is different from the system date, then the program displays the first day of that period.
3. Select the Reverse Transaction box to have the transaction automatically reversed the first day of the next accounting period. Reversing means that debits become credits and credits become debits.
4. Enter a Reference for the transaction up to 20 characters.
5. For each line enter or select an GL Account. To display a list of existing accounts, type a “?” in the GL Account ID field, or select the Lookup button.
6. Enter a description for the transaction if desired.
7. For each line enter an amount in either the Debit or Credit columns.
8. If the transaction is associated with a job, enter or select a Job ID.
9. Once the Out of Balance field is zero (0.00), select Save to record the transaction in the General Journal.
