Review of entries

If there is an anomaly in the entry of cash receipts or payments, particularly when there are a large number of them, identifying the cause can be a tedious process.

This tool makes it easier to carry out a consistency check.

Access: Accounting → Checks → Review entries

You can select entries within a date range, for a specific account, or by account code.

You can select multiple lines on the screen: the bottom of the screen will then display the total for the selected lines.

The table’s context menu allows you to:

• display journal entries based on additional selection criteria (counterparty or description)
• amend the journal entries for all displayed lines or for all selected lines

Group the selection allows you to combine a set of journal entries into a single one. For example, if you have paid an invoice in three instalments, this allows you to combine the three journal entries and check that the total is correct. This produces a ‘virtual’ entry – a display feature that does not alter the original journal file.
