Account

Select the account number that the transaction amount will be posted to. The account description displays for reference.

On the A/L Posted Transactions and G/L Posted Transactions forms, the G/L account to which the transaction was posted displays.

On the Journal Builder form, this account is defined at the To site. The account must meet these requirements in order to be used in the Journal Builder:

  • Must be effective, if an effective date is specified.
  • Must not be obsolete, if an obsolete date is specified.
  • Must not be a statistical account.

On the Journal Entries, Journal Builder, or Import Journal Entries form, it is a good idea to only select accounts that are visible in the list. If you have the appropriate permission, you can manually enter an account number that has been defined as a control account on the Chart of Accounts form, but you should proceed with caution, because entering a control account number can make your financial statements incorrect.  For more information, see About Control Accounts.

On the Journal Account Summary or Multi-FSB Journal Account Summary form, this field displays the journal entry account number.
