General day books

Financial transactions not relating to cash, bank, sales invoices or purchase invoices are registered in day books of the 'General' type. You may want to use general day books for payroll accounting or for matching debit and credit invoices. As no contra account has been defined for the entry, the total balance of all lines entered on a day book page should be '0'. If the total balance is greater or less than '0', the day book page will not be saved.

Isah Finance processes entries in day books in the Journal, after which the ledger account is updated with the journal entry lines. The Ledger Account allows you to view the journal entry lines and access the entries in the log: this enables you to track how balances in a ledger account were created.

How does the screen work?

As soon as you specify a general day book on the General Day Books form, the pages of that day book will appear in the upper part of the form.

If you click one of these pages, you will see the information at the bottom of the screen (Journal entry) and in the Display Panel (i.e. the right-hand column of the screen: Page, Transactions, Line).

Select a page and click the Lines tab at the bottom of the screen to view the detailed data on this page or to add lines. Use the Page tab to edit the General Data.
