Overview

Use the G/L Source Codes screen to add new source codes and descriptions, change descriptions, and delete codes that are no longer needed.

Source codes are used in General Ledger to identify the source (or type) of transaction details. You can print source journals that include all transactions with particular source codes.

You define source codes before you enter and post accounting transactions.

For more information, see About Source Codes.

Tip: For each source code you use, enter a description that you will recognize later, such as "Accounts Payable checks."
