General Journal Entries

Use the General Journal window to record all the transactions that cannot be made in the Sales or Purchases windows.

For example:

  • taking cash out of the business if you are an owner
  • making a loan payment

You also use general journal entries at the end of a fiscal year to record adjustments for the old and new fiscal years.

Note: If you are using the Sage 50 Accountant Edition, you can access your client's accounts from this transaction window.
