Posting Journal

• Use the Databases | Journal | Post menu sequence or click the Post Journal tool on the toolbar
• Make sure that the closing date in the Closing Date box on the Post Journal screen is correct. By default, TrakLoan sets it to the last day of the latest month for which there’s a transaction in the journal. You can enter the date in any standard format; for example, ‘‘Jan 3, 2000’’, or ‘‘1/3/00’’. When the cursor is in the date box you can increase or decrease the date a day at a time with the up- arrow and down-arrow keys. TrakLoan will refuse to accept a date earlier than the latest transaction date found in the journal.

• Select the posting sequence you’d prefer. The posting report prints each loan category separately followed by a summary for that category. The sequence of loans within each category can be numeric by account number or alphabetic by account name.
• The last page of the posting report is a recapitulation summary comprising summary information for all loan categories. If you’d like to see just this sum- mary, check the Print Summary Sheet Only box.
• Make sure your printer is connected, turned on, and loaded with 8 ½ by 11 inch paper.
• Click the [Post] button. If the closing month is the first month after the end of your fiscal year TrakLoan will check the Interest Paid This Year totals in the accounts (Sections 3.3.3, Page 17 and Section 3.6, Page 19). If they haven’t been reset to zero, TrakLoan will notify you and let you exit so that you can reset them.
