Journal Entry
Most types of records are also supported in REST web services. For a list of all records supported in REST, see REST Web Services Supported Records.
For information about working with this record type in REST web services, see Journal Entry.
You use the journal entry record to adjust balances in accounts. Journal entries let you change the value of any set of accounts without having to enter a posting transaction. In an account that has the Multi-Book Accounting feature enabled, you can also use this record to create book specific journal entries.
In the user interface, you access this record as follows:
-
Journal entries – Go to Transactions > Financial > Make Journal Entries. For help working with this record in the user interface, see Making Journal Entries.
-
Book specific journal entries – Go to Transactions > Financial > Make Book Specific Journal Entries. Note that this form is available only for accounts that use Multi-Book Accounting. For help working with this record in the user interface, see Book-Specific Journal Entries.
The journal entry record is defined in the tranGeneral XSD, where it is called JournalEntry.
