Overview

The Disbursements Journal is where all outgoing checks are entered.


 

Key Concepts

Entries here, are generated in two ways:
oThey are automatically generated though the Check Writing applets (A/P and E/R)
oThey 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).
