Journal Report

The Journal message type enables GL (General Ledger) Lists to be created. There is no hard and fast rule as to what a Journal Report/List should look like, except that it should show a list of debits and credits in the journal.

The Journal format type has Setup, Header, Lines and Tail sections.
