Journals

Use the Billing Journal to store information about your agency's billing transactions, such as charges, payments, refunds, and penalties. Use Journal Setup to specify the budget accounts that funds are transferred to or from during these transactions.

Transaction types are grouped into categories called transaction groups. For every transaction, a credit (CR) and a debit (DR) is recorded to a specific budget account, following the accounting practice of tracking assets and liabilities separately. These debit and credit amounts are stored as entries in the Billing Journal. You can export them to your agency's general ledger using a third-party accounting program.
