Journal templates

[edit | edit source]

Simple bookkeeping journal

{{bookkeeping journal| name = General | page = 1 }}

An empty journal just takes the journal name and page number

General Journal  - Page 1
Date Description Post
Ref.
Dr Cr
{{bookkeeping journal
| name = General
| page = 1
| entry =
{{bookkeeping entry| date = 2006<br/>Feb | day = 15 | description = Accounts Payable | dr = 100 }}
{{bookkeeping entry| description = Stock | cr = 80 }}
{{bookkeeping entry| description = Stationery | cr = 20 }}
}}

A journal with entries takes the journal name, page number and the entries. All fields of a bookkeeping entry are optional. cr is short for credit account and dr is short for debit account.

This is the result:

General Journal  - Page 1
Date Description Post
Ref.
Dr Cr
2010
Feb
15 Accounts Payable   100  
  Stock     80
  Stationery     20
