A journal is a chronological listing of transactions (debits and credits). Each transaction is first entered in a journal before it posts to the ledger. The General Ledger program uses multiple specialized journals to group together specific types of transactions.
Your agency will have one journal for each of the other WinTen² financial management program you have, such as Accounts Payable, Tenant Accounts Receivable, Payroll, Section 8, etc. Each of those programs makes automatic journal entries into its respective journal.
Note: Most agencies set up the journals for these programs in consultation with Tenmast when they first install the General Ledger program. Please use extreme caution when considering changes to them.
Note: You cannot delete a journal for which you have any transactions. You will usually delete only journals that you have never used.
