_ Record the March transactions in the General Journal. Click the Journal tab and record
your entries directly into the General Journal. Look at the March 1 Common Stock
transaction, which has already been entered, for an example of how to make your entries.
Do not put the “X” in the Posted column at this time. Use the printed Chart of Accounts
as a reference source for the Account Numbers and Account Names that are available
in OPJ’s accounting system.

you print the General Journal — click the Journal tab and then click the Printer Icon.

Record your postings directly into the General Ledger. As you post an amount to an account be sure to enter the General Journal Page # into the Journal Page # column. See the first posting to the Cash-Big Bank account for an example. After you post an amount to a General Ledger account, then hand write an “X” in the Posted column of the printed
General Journal. This will help you keep track of which entries you have posted.

_ Enter the “X”s, which you hand wrote on your General Journal pages, into the General Journal. Click the Journal tab and enter the “X”s in the Posted column

Step 2
Make an entry in the General Journal for each transaction and post the entry to the General Ledger accounts.
