The Journals Report lists transactions that have been grouped into journals. You may choose any of several sort orders and ranges of data including current and prior periods for any or all of the client's journals. If you have not set up or are not using separate journals, you can create special journals to print in the report. You may also optionally include Vendor IDs, separate debit/credit columns, and account descriptions in the report.
Open the File > Print dialog using any of the following methods.
- Click the Print button on the toolbar.
- Click the Print Reports icon on the shortcut bar.
- Choose Print Reports from the File menu.
On the Reports tab in the Print dialog, double-click Journals to move this report to the Selected pane. With Journals still highlighted, click the Options button to open the print options dialog for this report.
