Enter the nominal account you wish to be affected by this transaction. Use the Finder button to select from the nominal account list or create a new account.
If you know the first number of the nominal account code you require, for example one, then enter the number æ1Æ then choose the Finder button. The Finder automatically highlights for you the first account code beginning with the number you entered.

Enter an appropriate VAT Code for the transaction. As transfers are normally a movement of funds between accounts that do not involve VAT, the default non-vatable tax code as set up on the Company PreferencesÆ System tab appears here automatically.

If you want to include VAT in this journal, enter the VAT element as a separate line, with the appropriate debit or credit to the appropriate VAT Control Account (Sales or Purchases).

The name of the nominal account you have entered will appear automatically. You cannot edit this box.
