Use the split screen Adjusting Journal Entries grid to add or maintain adjusting journal entries in the trial balance journal while simultaneously viewing the corresponding changes within the Trial Balance grid.

Choose Trial Balance from the Tasks menu or click the Trial Balance icon on the shortcut bar. In the Trial Balance window, then choose Show split screen view from the F3 or right-click context menu, or press CTRL+H. The program displays the AJE grid in the lower section of the window.

There is a one-to-one correspondence between the current row in the Adjusting Journal Entry grid and the account row in the Trial Balance grid. The program verifies the balance after the entry in each row has been completed.
