GL-D  Print Journals

Purpose of Program

Use this program to get a listing of all transactions of a certain type posted or entered on a certain day or range of days.  This will let you check that all transactions for that day have been recorded properly.  For example, you could use this program to get a listing of all cash receipts on a certain day by choosing the Cash Receipts Journal and limiting the report to the desired date.  You can do the same with the General Journal, Cash Disbursements Journal, Sales Journal, Purchases Journal, Payroll Journal, Other Journal, Work Orders Journal and Year End Journal.

Each journal reports on a separate area of the accounting system.  Below is a list of the available journals and the transactions they record.

General Program Operation

When you run the program the first entries are the date range for the printout.   You can specify a range for both posting dates and entry dates or both.  Enter the starting and ending dates of the journal entries you want printed.  If you don't enter a date in the From Posting Date field, the program will default to the current date.  The Thru Posting Date field will default to the entry in From Posting Date.

The ability to limit the printout by entry date is useful for checking daily work that is done in batches.  You can check all the entries made in a day, regardless of the posting dates.

After the date ranges have been entered, the program will display a menu of journals to print.

Choose the one you want  by moving the menu bar with the up and down arrow keys to highlight your choice, then press <Enter>.

The resulting report will subtotal each group of entries (as for a single invoice), provide a grand total debits and credits at the end of the report and then, after the transaction listing, provide a summary of net debit and credit to each GL Account.
