Journals are done to adjust a Patient's account by either adding or removing amounts due to a specific reason by assigning these amounts to specific income or expenditure ledger accounts. It serves as a record for various transactions related to Invoices, and should only be used for the following purposes:

• Create Opening Balances for new GoodX systems
• Small Balance Write-Off
  
• Settlement Discount
  
• Bad Debt Write-Off
  
• Bad Debt Recovered
  
• Hand Over
  
• Interest

Please Note: Journals are not to be used to rectify incorrect invoices or receipts. Using Journals to fix errors will cause incorrect reporting, as Journals do not correct turnover and cashflow reports.
