Double Entry

This allows you to simple post a double entry journal from one centre to another with a comment of your choice.

  • On "Centre:", type the centre number where the money is coming out from, e.g. '"Z900"' for Cash.
  • Type the amount being paid in into the "Amount:".
  • On the "Comment:", type in the Paying-In Slip number and the word 'Cash'.
  • In the next line down, enter the same date as before, and then the next Centre number, e.g. 'Z901' for Cheque.
