- Recurring General Journal Transactions
-
- Use General Journal Entry to record recurring general journal transactions.
-
-
-
- General Journal transactions that must be posted time and again—like
-
- depreciation or accrued expenses—are best saved as recurring transactions.
-
- When you save a transaction as recurring, M.Y.O.B. puts a copy of the transaction
-
- in a separate list of recurring transactions. Anytime you need to post one, just
-
- click Use Recurring, verify the date and journal number and post it. There is no
-
- need to reenter the transaction detail (although you may if you wish).
-
-
-
- ÀáSave as RecurringÀá
-
- Every recurring transaction needs a name. M.Y.O.B. keeps the list of recurring
-
- transactions in alphabetical order. Enter up to 30 characters. Additionally, you
-
- should specify the frequency of the transaction. If you do, M.Y.O.B. can include a
-
- posting reminder in your To-Do list and, if the transaction affects a checking
-
- account, adjust for it on your Cash Flow Worksheet.
-
-
-
- ÀáNote:Àá If you save a transaction as recurring with the incorrect name or
-
- frequency, do not re-save it. Click Use Recurring, select the transaction and
-
- click Edit. Change the name or frequency and click Record.
-
-
-
- ÀáNote:Àá Any recurring transaction with a frequency of 'Other' is not included in
-
- your To-Do List or Cash Flow Worksheet.
-
-
-
- ÀáUse RecurringÀá
-
- Click Use Recurring and your recurring transactions are displayed
-
- alphabetically by name. M.Y.O.B. lists every transaction frequency, date last
-
- recorded and due date. Due date is calculated by taking the last recorded date and
-
- adding the number of days in the frequency (adjusted forward for nonbusiness
-
- days.) If there is an asterisk after the due date, it means that the transaction is
-
- currently overdue. It is for your information only. M.Y.O.B. doesn’t care if you
-
- record it or not.
-
-
-
- To search for a transaction, type a few letters of its name and press Tab.
-
- Double-click the desired transaction or select it (with a single click) and press
-
- Return. The transaction is displayed, ready to be modified (if needed) and
-
- recorded.
-
-
-
- ÀáNote:Àá The memo and transaction detail (accounts, amounts, etc.) of a recurring
-
- transaction are the same as the last time it was recorded. The date and journal
-
- number change. Feel free to change any entry before recording.
-
-
-
- ÀáNote:Àá You need only save a transaction as recurring once. You should not save it
-
- as recurring every time you Record it.
-
-
-
- ÀáChanging a Recurring TransactionÀá
-
- To change a recurring transaction’s name or frequency, click Use Recurring,
-
- select the transaction and click Edit. To change the detail (memo, accounts,
-
- amounts, etc.) of a transaction, wait until the next time you need to use it. When
-
- it is displayed, change it before recording. The next time you use it, the new
-
- detail will be displayed.
-
-
-
- ÀáDeleting a Recurring TransactionÀá
-
- To delete a recurring transaction from your list, click Use Recurring, select it
-
- and click Delete.
-
-
-
- ÀáNote:Àá Deleting a recurring transaction only deletes it from your list of
-
- recurring transactions. All actual transactions recorded previously using this
-
- recurring transaction are not affected.
