Updating Ledgers from Journal Entry

The journal list contains journals that have not been transferred to the nominal ledger and is displayed in a separate window. If the window is not displayed, you can activate within the user settings for journal registration by selecting the option Show journal list within the Function tab.

How to update ledgers from Journal Entry 

  1. Select View - Accounting and Journal Entry.
  2. Click Update ledgers.
    Alternatively, choose View - Accounts and Update ledgers from Journal entries.

  3. Create your filter for updating ledgers. You can choose to update a journal type, period or all Journal types/Periods. (Combinations are available i.e. Journal type Sales invoice combined with period 3.)

    Tip! If you have selected Batch journal entry in the Journal Entry User Settings, you can select batch journal entry in the Filter window.
