Journal Entry Voucher

Objective:

A journal voucher is a multi-purpose accounting mechanism that is used to:

·         Record and track general ledger-related transactions posted into the system.

·         Correct posting errors.

·         Redistribute costs from one or more accounts to several other accounts.

Every time a transaction is created in the system, the system automatically creates a corresponding journal voucher for control purposes. Since the system employs the double entry accounting principle, each journal voucher will contain the proper debit and credit amounts.
