[Revised Dec 02]
Journal entries are used for 3 purposes;
1. Adjustments can be made and errors corrected by reversing the faulty transaction and entering again. For security reasons, and because a tax invoice may have already been issued and could be made fraudulent by altering the original transaction, it is not possible to edit or delete an existing debtor transaction.
2. Shop items can be added to an account on a Dispensary-only system, and payments received. If a PoS module is installed these are available from the PoS screen on any unit.
3. Insurance script payments by Insurance companies for scripts.

-Put any explanation of the journal entry 'Reversal of payment credited in error' or whatever, in the comment box for printing on the next statement.

You can also use Journal entry to add a message onto the statement.
