Copy a General Journal Entry

Sage 50 allows you to create a new journal entry by copying an existing one.

ClosedWhat is the difference between copying, recurring, and memorizing a journal entry?
  • When you copy a journal entry, you create one copy of the journal entry that is displayed.
  • When you recur a journal entry, you create the same journal entry again over a set interval of time. For example, weekly for 6 weeks or monthly for 12 months. Tell me how.
  • When you memorize a journal entry, you create a template that can be used to create the same journal entry over and over without having to re-enter the information. Tell me how.
