You should record every accounting event as a separate Transaction in the Transaction register.

Before working with Transactions, you should also look at the following settings and registers:

To open the Transaction register, click the [Transactions] button in the Master Control panel or use the ⌘-1 keyboard shortcut. The 'Transactions: Browse' window is opened, showing a list of Transactions already entered.

All Transactions are shown with their Transaction Numbers preceded by the fiscal year: the Transactions numbered 2011.1 to 2011.6 in the illustration are examples of this.

In the Text column you can see the short explanatory text that was entered for each Transaction.

As in all browse windows you can change the sort order by clicking on the column headings. To reverse any sort, simply click once again on the column heading. The current sort column is shown with its heading coloured blue. You can scroll the list using the scroll bars or the trackpad. Finally, you can search for a record by entering a keyword in the field at the top right-hand corner. When you press the Return or Enter key, the first record with a match for the keyword in the current sort column will be highlighted. If you need to search for a particular Transaction Number, include the prefix in your keyword e.g. search for "2011.3" not "3". You can also change the order of the columns by dragging the column headings, and remove columns altogether using the check boxes in the drawer.
