The Transactions list displays information for all transactions for the selected journal.

The grid in the Distributions tab includes an Account Description column. When you select a GL account, the application automatically enters the GL account description (as entered in the Setup > Chart of Accounts screen) in this column, and you cannot modify that description. You can, however, enter a different description for the distribution in the Description column.

• When you press TAB (or ENTER, if you marked the Use Enter key to move between fields checkbox in the System tab of the Setup > User Preferences dialog) in the Reference and Description fields, the application automatically enters the data in those fields from the last saved transaction. If you do not want to repeat the information from the last saved transaction, you can enter new information, press CTRL+Spacebar on your keyboard to leave the field blank and move to the next field, or disable the auto-filling behavior by marking the Do not auto-fill values from previous transaction checkbox in the Edit > Options dialog.
• The application automatically uses the date from the last saved transaction for subsequent transactions, but you can override that date as necessary.

• Type. The Journal entry transaction type is selected by default and cannot be changed.
• Subtype. Select the applicable journal entry subtype. For a standard client, the drop-down list for this field includes Adjusting, Other, Potential, Reclassifying, and Tax Adjustment. For a consolidated master client, the drop-down list for this field includes Eliminating, Potential, and Tax Adjustment.
• Journal. Select the applicable journal or enter a unique description to add a journal on the fly. The drop-down list for this field includes all journals set up in the Setup > Journals screen.
• Posting Period. Select the applicable posting period. The drop-down list for this field includes dates that are entered or automatically created by the application in the Period End Dates dialog (accessed by clicking the Edit Dates button in the Setup > Clients screen).
