The workpaper reference is a text field that allows you to enter up to 10 alphanumeric characters to supply an audit trail and represent where the journal entry originated.

  2. Enter a reference of up to 10 alphanumeric characters in the Reference field of the Journal Entry grid.

    Note: If you are working with both a GL and Trial Balance CS client, keep in mind that reference numbers of 100 or greater are reserved for checks, unless otherwise specified in the General Ledger tab of the File > Client Properties dialog.
