Making General Journal Entries

The General Journal, accessed from the Ledger menu of the Accounting Node, is an entry mechanism for journal entries that will be included in the Summary Journals.  This supplement to the General Ledger provides the means for more detailed journal entries and accommodates Divisional Accounting.  For the most part, if the Xebra  is used as intended, very few journal entries should be needed.  Depreciation and inventory are two areas that will require journal entries, whether manually generated or via the Inventory module.  Internally, since we carry no inventory, we only use journal entries to make year end adjustments as received from our accountant.
