How to copy a Journal

A journal can be created by copying from an existing journal.

Step:

1. Navigate to ACCOUNTING > General Ledger > Journals.
2. Select the Journal No. that needs to be copied.
3. Click COPY.
4. Enter the Accounting Year and Month the new journal should be assigned to. By default, the system will put the following month from the original journal and change if needed. 
   
5. Enter a new Header Description for the copy journal if different from the original.
6. If the new journal is to be created as a reversal of the ‘copy from’ journal – tick the box REVERSAL – this will create a copy of the source journal but with debit and credit values reversed. 
   
7. Select SAVE - This will create the new journal and take you to the journal form for the new journal, where changes and additions can be made.
