When you select the Journal button in the Sales Orders window, Sage 50 displays the Accounting Behind the Screens window. The Sales Orders Journal tab displays the corresponding transaction's journal entry. You can modify the transaction by changing the account IDs of journal distributions listed.

Note: Sales Orders are not posted to the General Ledger. When you invoice the customer for shipped or delivered items in the order, the transaction is posted to the General Ledger.
