This is the starting point for the Argus General Ledger. It allows you to make General Journal  entries.

Argus General Ledger - Journal Entry List

There are two control lists. The top one shows any unposted General Journal entries. The lower control list shows posted transaction. You can view/edit any entry by double clicking on it. Use Add to add a new entry. The Post and Unpost buttons will post and unpost transactions respectively and you will see transactions move from one list to the other.

Pressing the Add button:

will allow a journal entry. In this example we have credited GL Account 3010 with $12,000.00 and debited GL Account 1001 with $12,000.00. A journal entry can have as many distributions as needed. Simply select a date (of the entry), enter a journal entry description (this should be something descriptive), select a GL Account by clicking on the GL Account lookup button and decide if you're going to debit or credit it. Press the Add button to add it and move it to the control list. Keep adding journal detail as you need. At the bottom of the screen the system will keep a running balance of debits and credits. Once the entry is complete press the Add button and the system will save the entry and allow the next entry. Press OK and your current entry will be saved and you'll be taken back to the prior screen. If you want to edit a line in the control list, simply double click on it; or you may remove a line from the control list, select it and then press the delete button.

Press OK:

Now post the transaction (normally you would post more than one entry - this can also be done in mass by using the Task Wizard):
