RE: How do you make sense of this entries in General Ledger Entries in Navision 2018?
Josh,
It depends on how a User, Accountant, Bookkeeper, Controller, Finance Analyst, who create General Journals wants to enter them. Let me explain...
In a General Journal you have Left Side and Right Side. On the Right Side you have Bal. Account Type and Bal. Account No.. Left Side you set the Account Type and No. You can enter any Type on either side but the Amount defines whether the Right is Positive (Debit) or Negative (Credit).
In the case of a Cash Receipts Journal, most users will enter left side as Customer, Vendor, or G/L Account (when the money is not a payment from Customer or refund from Vendor) and the Bal. Account Type = Bank Account. The Amount will reflect the impact to the Account Type. In the case of a Customer its Negative (Credit), a Vendor Positive (Debit), and G/L Account Negative (Credit).
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Steve
