Entering Subledger Entries

To enter subledger entries:

1. Navigate to the Journal Entries window (Payables > Transactions > Enter).

2. Enter the date you want your new entry or adjusting entry accounted for. You can override the current default date.

3. In the Category field, enter a document sequence category to assign to your subledger entry and derive a sequence number for. You have access to all categories.

4. Enter either the functional currency or a foreign currency in the Currency field.

5. In the Journal Entry Lines region, enter journal entry lines for each entry. You can enter as many accounting entry lines into an entry as you want. You create a line by specifying a line number, an account, and a third party/subidentifier for the debit or credit amount for your line. Follow the steps below to create a journal entry line:

6. Enter any comments in the Comments field to describe your journal lines.

7. Check the Journal Entry Complete box. If your entries are unbalanced, you cannot check this box. After you mark this box, you cannot change any information in this window.

8. In the Ref field, you will see the document number to query journal entries by the document number translated from subledgers.

9. Save your work.

The Posted box is checked when the journal entries are transferred to General Ledger. The next available sequence number from the chosen document sequence category is automatically filled in the Num field. The document number to query journal entries by the document number translated from subledgers is in the Ref field. The Sequence is defaulted from the Category, and the Period is defaulted from the Effective Date.
