Access depends on the module, company setup, and security permissions assigned to the user.

How It Works

Users filter the journal or transaction list, open the selected entry, and review dates, references, debit and credit lines, notes, and related source documents.

Main Areas

Area What It Means When To Use It

Recommended Workflow

  1. Open the journal or transaction review list.
  2. Filter by date, account, reference, or transaction type.
  3. Review the summary line before opening the entry.
  4. Open the transaction details when account-level explanation is needed.
  5. Use the result for audit, correction review, or month-end checking.

Best Practice

  • Review source documents before changing accounting entries.
  • Use transaction details when a balance is unclear.
  • Keep references meaningful for later audit work.
