    Hi Ana8,

    The best practice is to use Debit and Credit field for these lines.

    If your system is configured well then you can easily post this transaction else you might would like to configure the posting setup for this transaction....

    HI Ana

    Any Journal Screen The Document Type Fields is for identify document type only. Like in Subledger it doesn't do Credit Debit By The Type of The Document.

    So Don't Get Confused with Document Type with Journal Screen but Still there is some validations on it.

    In Journal Screen if you are using Single line Entry 1st account is Debit & Second Account is Credit.

    if you use Double line Entry Then You Need to enter Negutive(-) sign for the Credit Entry.

    as Tharanga suggested you can enable Debit and Credit Two Column for your easy reference.

    Thanks

    Indika.

    If you have doubt either you should use +- in Amount field it will be best option to use the method you are familiar with. Add field Debit & Credit Field and record the value in respective field. As already said be other members it will depend on nature of entry you are making that can be decieded what value you need to enter + or -. Also rightly suggested to use Documents CreditMemo or Return Orders which ever applicable avoid using Journal directly, if you have options available to handle such nature of entries.

    It depends on what type of transaction you would like to receive. What exactly is your business transaction? E.g., if you are trying to make a cash return to customer by diminishing the receivables, you need to select Finance Charge Memo, and in the Account Type select your cash account, and on the Bal. Account Type select your customer; the amount will be then negative (to credit the cash account).

    Have you received payment from customer ? Or Are you paying or refunding money to customer for Credit card ??

    If you are refunding money to customer then use Refund as document type in Cash receipt journal.

    You need to go with the +- signs in the amount column or you need to use credit debit fields in the journal. If the Credit and Debit fields are not visible then just right click on the column header and select choose column and add those. If the choose column does not have it, ask your NAV partner to add them for you.

    Hello,

    NAV has a pretty thorough process for doing Credit Memos. Since you mentioned Accounts Receivables, I suspect what you want to do is use the Sales Return Order and/or Sales Credit Memo documents; and know how and when to use these processes. When you use these documents correctly and post them it will handle the issue related to your question.
