Duplicating General Journals

You can quickly duplicate any selected General Journal transaction by clicking on the Duplicate button.  This is a great feature if you need to constantly enter general journal entries that are the same or similar to other general journals.  When you click the duplicate button on a selected general journal a message box will open asking if you want to duplicate the selected record.  If you choose to duplicate it a new general journal transaction will be created based on the current general journal selected.  After the add general journal has successfully been duplicate another message box will appear displaying the Journal ID assigned to it.  You will then be moved to the add general journal transaction.

 

Everything in the add general journal will be duplicated except for the Date field, which will be entered with todays date and the Journal ID field, which will be incremented with the next Journal ID from the Starting Numbers form.  The general journal transaction will not be posted after it has been created.  This gives you the opportunity to add to or edit it further before you actually post it.

 

Duplicating general journal transactions has no affect on anything at all in the program until you actually post the duplicated general journal.  You can duplicate a general journal record and then delete it before you post it and it would be like you never duplicated it to begin with.
