To add a complex transaction to a journal:
Activate the journal to which the transaction is to be added.
Press <Alt+E+A> or issue the command Edit>Append to add a new item to the table. (NOTE: The line number is generated automatically.)
Enter the date, reference and description. Do not enter any amounts, since they are generated automatically from the items on the distribution.
In most journal entries, either the debit side of the entry is simple and the credit side is complex, or the credit side of the entry is simple and the debit side is complex. If the debit side of the entry is simple, enter the name of the debit account in the debit account field (type the account name or press <F3> to select). If the credit side of the entry is simple, enter the name of the credit account in the credit account field (type the account name or press <F3> to select). The debit or credit account description is filled in automatically.
Activate the transaction detail table by clicking anywhere in the transaction detail window or by pressing <F6>.
Add an item to the transaction detail table for each transaction detail. If the debit side of the entry is complex, fill in the debit account name (type or press <F3> to select), description and debit amount for each item. If the credit side of the entry is complex, fill in the credit account name, description and credit amount for each item.
