Disbursement Journal

Description: The Disbursements Journal is where all outgoing checks are entered. Typically, entries here have been entered automatically generated from A/P or E/R check writing; however, they can also be entered here manually through the Toolbar. See Print a Manual Check to see how to post a check manually using the Disbursement Journal.

The Disbursement Journal makes assumptions on debits and credits. It assumes the header amount is a credit, so when you enter a positive amount it saves it behind the scenes as a a negative (a credit).
