:
In the times of ink and paper, you had to enter (parts of) a
transaction 3 times:
Journal, Account A, Account B.

On computers it is different, e.g.
you enter all details in account A and the relevant parts appear also
in account B and Tools->General Journal.

I am not an accountant and am using GC for my personal bookkeeping. I have entered journal entries in Quickbooks in the past but don't understand how to do it in GC. Can anyone nudge me in the right direction?Thanks,Harold
