Accounting Behind the Screens—Receive Money (Receipts)

When you click Journal in the Receive Money window, Sage 50 displays the Accounting Behind the Screens window. The Cash Receipts Journal tab displays the corresponding transaction's journal entry.

You can modify the transaction by changing the account IDs of certain journal distributions listed. You cannot change account IDs for "cost of sales" entries. To change a "cost of sales" entry, you must return to the Receive Money window and select an alternate inventory item or change the inventory item G/L account defaults in Maintain Inventory Items.

For assistance with debits and credits, seeJournal Entry Distributions—Receipts.

To return to the Receive Money window, click OK. Then, select Save or Print to record the modified transaction in the Cash Receipts Journal.
