Course details

A closer look at why GL transaction workflow matters and what this training explains.

Why transaction workflow matters

This module is designed to help General Ledger activity stay accurate and usable for reporting. The training focuses on recording, reviewing, and posting common transaction types correctly because small mistakes in GL work often show up later in reconciliation, month-end close, or financial statements.

Journal vouchers and Auto Reversal

The module starts with journal vouchers, covering session setup, debit and credit entry, editing before posting, and correct posting. It then explains Auto Reversal, including when it makes sense to use it, which reversal options to choose, and what each option requires. This is especially useful for accruals and temporary entries that need to reverse cleanly in the next period.

Cash disbursements

For cash disbursements, the course walks through session setup, check number use, 1099 coding where applicable, expense line coding, transaction descriptions, and the unposted transaction report plus posting process. The goal is to make sure payments and expenses are reflected correctly before they become part of the permanent GL history.

Cash receipts

On the receipts side, the module explains how to create or edit cash receipts, what information belongs in the entry, and how to confirm that debits and credits are balanced. That balance check matters because it prevents receipt activity from turning into cleanup work later during bank reconciliation and close.
