Accounting
General journal
The chronological accounting record of all journal entries made during a financial year.
It records each transaction in date order and forms the basis for all other accounting information.
An example
All invoices, expenses and adjustments for a year appear sorted by date.
The typical mistake
Treating it as a report generated at year-end. It is the primary record, not a summary.
How it appears in AndCompta
The journal is the product's actual accounting record rather than a report assembled at the end. You can inspect it at any date and export it completely in an open format.
