Journal Inquiry
Journal Inquiry finds manual journal entries. Where GL Inquiry shows everything that hit an account, this narrows to journals specifically — the entries someone wrote directly rather than ones produced by a sales or purchase document.
Where to find it
Go to Financial Statement > General Ledger > Journal Inquiry.

Actions
| Action | What it does |

| Edit Journal | Modify the entry, where the period is still open. |
| Delete Journal | Remove the entry, subject to permissions and period status. |
Filtering by User over a month is a useful control. Manual journals bypass the checks built into transactional documents, so knowing who is posting them — and how many — is worth reviewing periodically.
