SoftLedger automates the process when a journal entry that is created needs to be subsequently reversed at a future date. Often common with accrued revenue or prepaid expenses.

How To

Creating a Journal Entry in the User Interface (UI)

    • The Transaction date will be the same for all journal lines in this record
