Journal entries

The journal of all posted entries, and the detail view of a single entry.

The list shows every posted entry of your company: manual bookings and the entries that BizCortex creates automatically for invoices, bills, payments, depreciation, accruals, recurring entries, opening balances, year end closing and intercompany postings.

Steps

  1. 1. Filter by date

    Use the date range picker in the toolbar. The list is sorted by date, newest first. Click a column header such as Date, Entry no., Document no. or Description to sort.

  2. 2. Search and export

    Use the search field to find entries. The Export button downloads the current list as CSV or Excel (XLSX). Use the Columns button to hide or show columns.

  3. 3. Open an entry

    Click a row. The detail page shows the date, entry number, document number, source, the time of posting and a reversal link if the entry was reversed or is itself a reversal.

  4. 4. Read the lines

    Each line shows the account (click it to open the account ledger), description, tax code, cost center, cost object, the foreign currency amount and rate if any, and the debit or credit amount. The footer shows the totals.

  5. 5. See the history

    Below the lines you find the activity history of the entry, for example who posted or reversed it.

  6. 6. Record a new booking

    Click "New entry". This opens the editor for a new draft entry.
