In MYOB BusinessBasics, General Journal entries are transactions you can use to track business activity that you wouldn't want to track with other kinds of transactions, such as sales. Usually, General Journal entries are used for special situations only, such as when you need to record depreciation of your company's assets, or when you need to enter year-end adjustments to your financial records.
Transaction information from General Journal entries are stored in the General Journal, so your other business records, such as your sales figures, aren't directly affected by these transactions.
