When you open the Record Journal Entry window, the General Journal number and transaction date will be filled in for you automatically. These entries - called default entries in AccountEdge - can be changed if necessary, but in most instances, you'll probably want to keep the default entries.
When creating General Journal entry, it's very important to identify the purpose of the transaction for future reference. You can do this by entering a comment in the Memo field. Your comment should be short but detailed, so you can differentiate the transaction from other, similar transactions. For example, you might enter "Depreciation for July" or "Reversing entry for GJ000100." This will allow you to find and understand the nature of the transaction much more easily in the future.
