Printing Journal Transactions From a Table of Journal Transactions

To print journal transaction details (from pink tables):

  1. Position on any table of journal transactions (pink).

  2. If no block is marked the current journal transaction is processed.
    Transactions can be sorted by any available order, i.e. Date order, Reference order, Comment order, Line number order or in reverse.

  3. Issue the Print>Journal Transactions command.

    A print settings window will appear as shown below.

    Four groups of preset print settings are provided: three for each of the basic journal types, plus one that can be used if the command is run from the root journal.
    Each group contains presets from small to large or XL.
    Small prints a minimum set of columns/fields,
    Medium prints a more extensive set of columns/fields, and Large and XL prints a very comprehensive set of columns/fields.

    You can use the User Options, to switch between modern and classic styles for the prompt.

  4. Fill in the print settings fields.

    For the meaning of each setting, refer to the Print Settings Field Summary found below.

  5. Click the <Continue> button or press <F5> to print the account ledgers.

    When <Continue> is clicked, the output might be sent to Excel or to a file instead of the printer, depending on the value set in the Destination field.
