The Trust Journal is a listing by date of all postings (checks, receipts, transfers) made to a specific Trust Account. Transactions that are assigned to all matters in a given trust bank account are displayed in the Trust Journal.
To view the Trust Journal
From the Brief Accounting Home screen, select the Trust module icon > Journal tab for the Trust Account.
A list of each month with a summary of total Checks, Receipts and month-end balance is displayed:
Double-click on the month to be viewed/printed.
A detailed list of all checks and receipts for the month is displayed:
Posted items have a reference number in the Ref No column. If a transaction shows "Request" in the Ref No column, it has been entered and saved, but not posted. Items as such may still be edited or deleted. Posted items may not be deleted -- they instead must be reversed and re-posted if corrections are required. See Reversing Trust Transactions.
TIP: The magnifying glass icon beside each column heading is a search button and can be used to search/filter for specific transactions or a range of transactions. The search function searches all months in the trust journal, not just the month that is displayed when the search button is clicked.
Clicking the Print icon from the Trust Journal allows printing of:
- Receipts Journal
- Check Register
- Combined Journal
- Transfer Journal
