The General Journal contains transactions that establish and adjust account 
balances. It is used to transfer funds from one account to another or make 
correcting journal entries. If you make beginning balance entries or prior year 
adjustments in the Maintain Chart of Accounts window, Peachtree 
Accounting generates the entries for you and inserts them into the General 
Journal. Other examples include monthly accruals, asset depreciation, and 
end-of-year adjustments. In the General Journal you distribute the debits and 
the credits. In other journals, Peachtree Accounting automatically distributes 
the entry for you.
