Display a list of all the journals entries added. Useful for reviewers.

Viewing journals lets you see:

Journal Date and Journal Note in the header row.
The Sequence, Account Name, Quantity, DR Amount/CR Amount, GST information and Description in the detail rows.
The journal line description, added to the journal note field for AccountRight, Practice Ledger and Cashbook.
The Show drop-down list, to filter the list of journals which are displayed in the table. Only relevant if you want to view and filter journals once they have been posted to the client ledger.

If an account code has been updated in an online ledger, the updates won’t be reflected in the Journals window. The original account code will be shown in this window, and the row will be highlighted in red.
If the journal has not yet been posted, you can update the account code to match the code in the online ledger. See Editing adjustment journals .
If the journal has already been posted, the account code cannot be updated. You are not required to update this journal, as the Ledger will reflect the correct account code.
