Enter the Journal entry number
Enter the Date of transaction
Enter the Debit item (as per the golden principles of accountancy)
Enter the corresponding GL folio number
Enter the Debit amount
Enter the credit item(as per the golden principles of accountancy)
Enter the amount in the credit column
Provide a brief description of the transaction
leave a single line before next transaction
