Debit

This field works in conjunction with the Credit field on the document detail line item.  You can entry either a Debit value or Credit value but not both on any individual Detail line item.  This field accepts positive values, negative values or zero.

As you enter a value in one of these fields, the value in the other field will be eliminated.

Note that as you supply new or changed values in any of the Debit or Credit fields, the totals at the bottom of the Detail grid for those columns will be immediately updates as well as the Totals and Variance displayed in the header section of the screen.

Note that you can submit and post a journal entry having detail lines with zero dollar values in the Debit and Credit columns.  This is primarily in support of the ability to create recurring journal entries where certain line items may not always have a value in every period, thus we do allow for them to remain as a detail line even without any values.  Once posted, however, we will not be creating general ledger entries for any journal entry line items that contain only zero amounts.
