The transaction journal is a list of all the transactions created throughout Jim2. When each transaction is created and added to the transaction journal it will show with a unique transaction journal number. These cannot be duplicated or edited.

 

Each transaction will have a header showing information relating to the transaction, and the details showing the general ledger accounts altered by the entry.
