When you click the Journal button in various task windows, Sage 50 displays the corresponding journal entries in the Accounting Behind the Screens window. These are journal entries Sage 50 records when saving a transaction. You can modify the journal entry by changing the account IDs for each distribution listed in the transaction.
Depending on what type of task is open, the Accounting Behind the Screens window displays the journal tab(s) that correspond to the particular transaction. For example, if you are editing a payment, Sage 50 displays the Cash Disbursements Journal entry. If you are editing a sales invoice that has a payment applied to it in the Sales/Invoicing window, Sage 50 displays both the Sales Journal and Cash Receipts Journal entries.
