JOURNALIZING
A Journal is a book in which transaction are recorded in the order in which they occur i.e. in
chronological order.
A Journal is also called book of prime entry because all transactions are entered first in this
book
The process of recording a transaction in Journal is called a Journalizing
An entry made in Journal is called Journal Entry
Special Journals
QUICK GUIDE TO FUNDAMENTALS OF ACCOUNTING using SAP Business One
Sales Journal - The Sales Journal is a special journal designed to record a single type of frequently
occurring transaction -- in this case, credit sales. This tutorial covers the concept of the sales journal from
the original transactions through the posting process.
Cash Receipts Journal - The Cash Receipts Journal is a special journal designed to record a single type of
frequently occurring transaction -- in this case, cash receipts. This tutorial cover the concept of the cash
receipts journal from the original transactions through the posting process.
Purchases Journal - The Purchases Journal is a special journal designed to record a single type of
frequently occurring transaction -- in this case, credit purchases. This tutorial cover the concept of the
purchases journal from the original transactions through the posting process.
Cash Payments Journal - The Cash Payments Journal is a special journal designed to record a single type
of frequently occurring transaction -- in this case, cash payments. This tutorial cover the concept of the
cash payments journal from the original transactions through the posting process.
The majority of journal entries in SAP Business One come from one of the other modules; sales,
purchasing, payment, and inventory documents post transactions automatically to the G/L. However,
in GAAP accrual-based accounting, you sometimes need to make manual journal entries in the G/L,
such as depreciation entries, accrual entries, correcting entries, and the likeanything, in other words,
that would not come from one of the other SAP Business One modules. When a journal entry is added
manually, it is recorded immediately and cannot be deletedonly reversed.
The purpose of manual journal entries is to record transactions that are not automatically initiated
from a subledger or from another process within SAP Business One. For example, a manual journal
entry might be used to record a finance charge to a customer account or a service fee to a bank
account.

Journal Vouchers
8. How to use journal vouchers?
You can use journal vouchers to review a batch of financial transactions before posting them. Before
you post the entries as journal vouchers, you have the opportunity to edit, change, or delete entries, as
required. Lets consider a couple of situations in which you would use journal vouchers. Perhaps youre
training a new employee, and rather than risking that some or all of the new employees journal entries
might have to be reversed, you can allow the new employee to create journal vouchers that you can
review. This eliminates the risk that the new employee could post incorrect journal entries that would
have to be reversed later.
In other systems, a journal voucher is sometimes used for a single journal entry. In SAP Business One, a
journal voucher is always used for a batch of transactions which means that you enter multiple journal
entries in one voucher. When you post the voucher to the general ledger, all the journal entries
contained in the voucher are posted together.
Note: The default of the system is that the list of account titles is sorted according to the account codes.
You cannot type account title in the Find field to search for an account title. To sort it according to their
account codes, double-click Account Name. You will notice that the small triangle is transferred from
the Account Number to the Account Name.

Chapter Seven:
SPECIAL JOURNAL - DISBURSEMENTS
Cash disbursements occur in business when a company makes a payment. A number of different
transactions can incur a cash disbursement. Companies record these transactions, as every disbursement
results in a lower cash balance. Disbursements will either result in a use or exchange of assets. Many
companies report disbursements in a separate accounting journal.
Disbursement Journal
Companies usually will maintain a cash disbursement journal as part of their general ledger. Frequent
cash disbursements can quickly fill the general journal, resulting in this subunit of the overall
accounting ledger. Only cash disbursements go in this journal. Companies that initially purchase goods
on credit will record the entry into the purchases journal. Once the payable is due, the company must
With the banking and reconciliation functionality in SAP Business One, you can manage all incoming
and outgoing payments. You can post these payments manually and choose from payment methods such
as check, bank transfer, credit card, or cash. The payment wizard allows you to reconcile and clear
multiple accounts receivable and accounts payable invoices in batch mode by creating a payment run
that generates the payment and automatically posts the journal entry transaction.

The purchases journal lists all credit purchases of merchandise. Entries in this journal usually include
the date of the entry, the name of the supplier, and the amount of the transaction. Some companies

tool that helps the companies take advantage of discounts just before they expire. The purchases

Chapter Nine:
SPECIAL JOURNAL - SALES
Special Journals
Entering transactions in the general journal and posting them to the correct general ledger accounts is
time consuming. In the general journal, a simple transaction requires three linestwo to list the accounts
and one to describe the transaction. The transaction must then be posted to each general ledger account.
If the transaction affects a control account, the posting must be done twiceonce to the subsidiary
ledger account and once to the controlling general ledger account. To speed up this process, companies
use special journals to record repetitive transactions that affect the same set of accounts and have a
consistent description. Such transactions can be documented on one line in a special journal. Then,
QUICK GUIDE TO FUNDAMENTALS OF ACCOUNTING using SAP Business One
instead of separately posting individual entries, each column's total is posted at the end of the accounting
period.
Although companies create special journals for other types of repetitive transactions, almost all
merchandising companies use special journals for sales, purchases, cash receipts, and cash
disbursements.
Sales Journal
The sales journal lists all credit sales made to customers. Sales returns and cash sales are not recorded
in this journal. Entries in the sales journal typically include the date, invoice number, customer name, and
amount. Invoices are the source documents that provide this information. In its most basic form, a sales
journal has only one column for recording transaction amounts. Each entry increases (debits) accounts
receivable and increases (credits) sales.
Notice the dates and posting references applied to each entry in the illustration to the right. Each day,
individual sales journal entries are posted to the accounts receivable subsidiary ledger accounts so that
customer balances remain current. Customer account numbers (or check marks if customer accounts
are simply kept in alphabetical order) are placed in the sales journal's reference column to indicate that
the entries have been posted. At the end of the accounting period, the column total is posted to the
accounts receivable and sales accounts in the general ledger. Account numbers are placed in parentheses
below the column to indicate that the total has been posted.
Many companies use a multi-column (columnar) sales journal that provides separate columns for
specific sales accounts and for sales tax payable. Each line in a multi-column journal must contain equal
debits and credits. For example, the entries in the sales journal to the right appear below in a multi-
column sales journal that tracks hardware sales, plumbing sales, wire sales, and sales tax payable.
Individual entries are still posted daily to the accounts receivable subsidiary ledger accounts, and each
column total is posted at the end of the accounting period to the appropriate general ledger account.
