Entry
You can activate a special journal entry toolbar which will display separate buttons in the journal entry window, either instead of or in addition to the journal templates drop-down menu. These buttons act as shortcuts to various journal templates. This will change the journal entry somewhat and many make use of this function for their most commonly used journals.
The large buttons at the top of the journal entry screen make it easy to enter the most common journal entries. The buttons start small wizards that will help you to enter all necessary information for correct journal entry.
The buttons can be activated in User settings, and through the Journal
template toolbar button. You can also create your own journal templates,
in addition to the systems journal templates.
The buttons are there for users who want to simplify journal entries. For more accomplished users it could be more efficient to enter the journals line by line.
Note! Please beware that applying this toolbar will reduce your options for overwriting pre-defined settings at customer and supplier level.
Click each shortcut key title for detailed information on how to enter the journal types.
