Posting Info

A journal reference is a user-defined alphanumeric code added to each transaction in a journal entry batch. Use references to identify transactions and compare them with source documents.

From Settings, select General ledger, then select Posting info to configure adjustment and reversal prefixes, journal values, and the fields included in journal references.

General

Set default prefixes to identify adjustment and reversal transactions. Select Edit to assign journal values for each transaction type, such as Payables or Fixed assets, then save your changes.

Tip: Journal values are entries in the Journal table. To add, edit, or delete values, from Settings, select Fields and tables, then Tables. Search for and select Journal to update its descriptions. For steps, see Manage Tables.

Journal References

Under Journal references, choose the debit and credit fields and their lengths to include in each reference. Add or remove fields, or restore the original defaults.

To add custom debit or credit fields, select Manage fields.

Warning: Before posting adjustments or records such as invoices and purchase orders, specify the journal values to use for posting.
