Overview
The Disbursements Journal is where all outgoing checks are entered.
Key Concepts
• | Entries here, are generated in two ways: |
o | They are automatically generated though the Check Writing applets (A/P and E/R) |
o | They are entered manually through the Disbursement Journal interface and Printed using the Manual Check option on the Toolbar. |
• | 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 negative (a credit). |

o | Void - Voids the current Journal Transaction. |
