Creating a General Journal List is based on what users define in the General Journal List header. The General Journal List has three primary functions within Jim2:
▪To enable users to find specific general journals.
▪To provide a method of sorting general journals by criteria.
The General Journal List function allows users to search and filter using all the fields in the list header, combined with date ranges (before, between, after this date, month, year).
It is a very powerful tool, but very easy to use.

In the image above: ▪Date range fields to the left are the document date (the date the transaction reports in the general ledger). ▪Date range fields to the right are the transaction date (the date the transaction was actually entered). |
Sorting, searching and grouping are all available as per other lists in Jim2. Click on the column header in the grid you wish to sort, then drag it to the Group By area to group.
By filtering in the general journal list selection, users can narrow down their choices. The search result is displayed, and users can choose to view/edit one general journal by selecting the GJ#, or drag and drop column headers in the General Journal List to group results by that column's contents.

Blue text on some entries in a general journal list simply indicates that the document date (the date the entry impacts on your general ledger accounts) and the transaction date (the date you entered the transaction into Jim2) are not the same. |
If your security allows it, you can right click within the list grid, select Export Data and save the list information as an XLSXs file.
As you can see from the above image, you have a number of other useful right-click options, all self explanatory.
