Accounting Ledger Items

Ledger Item

Keyboard shortcut: option-command-D.

Use *Ledger Item to add non-check transactions to a Ledger in the MacNail construction accounting software.

NOTE-- Goldenseal construction accounting software replaced MacNail in 2000. It's an integrated program that includes general accounting, job costing, payroll and project billing, plus estimating and other features. It uses Banking transactions, which are similar to the line items in a MacNail ledger.

You can use *Ledger Item to add deposits, bank service charges, VISA transactions, or any other items that don't involve a check number.

To add a ledger item:
1. Click on the row or rows where you would like to add a ledger item.
2. Choose *Ledger Item from the EDIT menu. This dialog box will appear:
3. Click on the desired item (for example, Bank Charge).
4. Click OK. You can also double-click on the desired item.
5. A row (or several rows) will be added at the selected location. The proper formulas will be added, and the label 'bank chg' will be filled into the check no column.
