Overview

The Sales Journal is where client invoices are entered.


 

Key Concepts

Transactions entered here must be offset against an Accounts Receivable account. This is the header side of the transaction.
Most transactions in the sales journal are entered automatically from automated invoicing. More on Automated Invoicing
The Sales Journal makes assumptions on debits and credits. It assumes the detail amount is a credit, so when you enter a positive amount, it is saved behind the scenes as a negative (credit).
