Make Your Entries - GLE

Enter the balance forward of all your general ledger accounts using the GLE entry going into the General Journal. Enter the general ledger department and account number. Enter the reference. (This can be numbers or letters.) Enter the reference date. (The date of the end of the last completed period.) Enter the amount. (The balance forward amount. If this is a credit, use the minus sign.) Enter the description. (This could be "Beginning Balance Forward" and the date.) The entries MUST balance. You may display the entries made and make changes or make new entries. You will receive a print out of all entries. General Ledger manual entries for the month you are closing are entered the same way using reference numbers and descriptions to correspond to the entries.
