Journal Entry Quick Keys

Youcan add shortcut ids to your chart of accounts to make the creating of journal entries easier.  Start by going to Company > Find > Chart of Accounts Grid.  Right click on the account you wish to modify and select Modify.  Here you can add the Shortcut ID.  I added the word CASH as an example but you can use a shortened version of the account number (e.g.12001) or any other ID to make selecting this account easier.  Please note each shortcut id must be unique.  Once you have the ID you want, click OK.

Whenyou go to enter the journal entry, type the shortcut ID, hit Enter, enter your amount (positive for debit, negative for credit), hit ENTER, then if there is a control number you will enter it in the reference id field.  If there is no control number, hit ENTER.  Your journal entry line will appear.  You can then continue with your next Shortcut ID or double click on the line below the entry just made to continue your journal entry.
