Setting up Journal Types

  1. Open Journal Types (JNT) from the main SunSystems menu.
  2. Specify this information:
    Journal Type

    This code uniquely identifies the journal type and should, ideally, be meaningful. For example, CR for cash receipts, PI for purchases invoices. It is entered during Ledger Entry (LEN) to identify the type of transactions to be entered.

    Name

    This is the description of the journal, for example Purchase Invoices. This is displayed alongside the code in Ledger Entry (LEN) to describe the type of journal. This may also appear automatically in the transaction description field during ledger entry.

  3. Specify the information on each tab in the Journal Types dialog.
  4. Save your changes.
