   To enter journal lines:

1. Navigate to the Enter Journals window.

2. Enter your batch and journal information. Alternatively, you can set up a default category and accept all default batch and journal information to enter lines directly.

3. Enter a Line number for each journal line to control the sequence in which the journal entry lines appear online and in reports. After you enter the first journal entry line number, General Ledger automatically increments the numbers for the following lines. You can change the line numbers as necessary.

4. Enter an Account for the journal line.

5. Enter the Debit or Credit amount for the designated account.

Note: If needed, you can enter debits and credits as negative amounts.

• Use Journals - Journal Entry Line to enter any additional information related to your journal lines.

• Use Journals - Captured Information to enter additional information about journal lines with certain natural account segment values.

• Use Value-Added Tax to incorporate tax information into your accounting transactions. You cannot change the definition of this descriptive flexfield in General Ledger.
