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. |
• | 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). |
