Journal Adjustment 

Screen(ADJGL00001) 

A "Journal Adjustment" in accounting systems refers to the process of making changes or corrections to existing entries in the General Ledger (GL). These adjustments are necessary to ensure that financial statements accurately reflect the true financial position and performance of an organization. Journal adjustments can be used to correct errors, reclassify transactions, or account for accruals, deferrals, and other financial events that were not initially recorded.

Posting Date 

The Transaction Date, also referred to as the Document Date, is the date the transaction was created. The Transaction Date is normally either the original document date (i.e. the original invoice date) or the date the transaction was recorded in the database. 

Posting Period 

When you enter a journal transaction to CUSCEN you post to a particular accounting period. This period is entered on the journal transaction and is not derived from the transaction date. 

Currency Code 

The term "Currency Code" in the context of a transaction refers to the standardized three-letter code used to represent different currencies in financial transactions. When a transaction involves multiple currencies, the currency code indicates which currency is being used. 

Original Doc Ref 

The term "Original Doc Ref" in a transaction typically refers to the original document reference number associated with the transaction. This reference number is used to uniquely identify and track the original document or transaction record. It can be important for various reasons, including: 

  1. Tracking and Verification: It helps in tracking the transaction back to its source document or record. For instance, in financial transactions, this might be linked to an invoice, receipt, or purchase order. 

Auditing and Reconciliation: It aids in the reconciliation of accounts and in auditing processes by providing a reference to the original document that can be reviewed or cross-checked. 

Description 

The "Transaction Description" in a transaction is a brief summary or explanation of the nature of the transaction. It provides context and details about the transaction to help users or systems understand what the transaction entails. 

Currency Debit 

In the context of accounting and financial transactions, the "debit side" refers to one half of a double-entry bookkeeping system, where every transaction affects at least two accounts. Here's a breakdown of what "debit side" means: 

  1. Account Impact: On the debit side of an account, entries are recorded that either increase asset accounts or expense accounts, or decrease liability accounts, revenue accounts, or equity accounts. 

  1. Journal Entries: When recording transactions, debits are listed on the left side of a journal entry. For example, if a company purchases equipment with cash, the equipment account (an asset) would be debited (increased), and the cash account (also an asset) would be credited (decreased). 

  1. Balance Effects: For asset and expense accounts, debits increase the balance, while for liability, revenue, and equity accounts, debits decrease the balance. 

  1. Examples: 

  • Asset Account: If a company buys office supplies, the Supplies account is debited to show an increase in assets. 

  • Expense Account: If a company pays for utilities, the Utilities Expense account is debited to show an increase in expenses. 

Liability Account: If a company reduces its loan balance, the Loan Payable account is debited to decrease the liability. 

Currency Credit 

In the context of accounting and financial transactions, the "credit side" refers to one half of a double-entry bookkeeping system, where every transaction affects at least two accounts. Here's a breakdown of what "debit side" means: 

  1. Account Impact: On the debit side of an account, entries are recorded that either increase asset accounts or expense accounts, or decrease liability accounts, revenue accounts, or equity accounts. 

  1. Journal Entries: When recording transactions, debits are listed on the left side of a journal entry. For example, if a company purchases equipment with cash, the equipment account (an asset) would be debited (increased), and the cash account (also an asset) would be credited (decreased).

  1. Examples: 

  • Asset Account: If a company buys office supplies, the Supplies account is debited to show an increase in assets. 

  • Expense Account: If a company pays for utilities, the Utilities Expense account is debited to show an increase in expenses. 

Liability Account: If a company reduces its loan balance, the Loan Payable account is debited to decrease the liability. 

Balance 

In accounting, "balancing" refers to the process of ensuring that the total debits and credits in a set of financial records or a journal entry are equal. This concept is fundamental to the double-entry bookkeeping system, where each transaction must be recorded in at least two accounts, and the sum of debits must always equal the sum of credits. 

Branch 

A "branch transaction" refers to financial transactions that occur at a branch office of a business or financial institution, rather than at its central or main office. Here’s a detailed explanation: 

Definition: Branch transactions involve any financial activity or operations conducted at a branch location, such as deposits, withdrawals, transfers, payments, or account management.

  1. Structure: Account codes often follow a structured format, which may include numerical sequences, letters, or a combination of both. For example: 

  • 1000: Cash 

  • 2000: Accounts Payable 

  • 3000: Revenue 

  • 4000: Expenses
