Statistical Journal Entries

You enter statistical transactions in the same way that you enter GL transactions. The only difference is that statistical transactions don’t need to balance. Instead, you increase or decrease a value.

For example, you might increase the number of employees in the month of June because you hired two more. In this case, you would use the Employees statistical account and the journal you created for employees.

Troubleshooting

When you post a transaction, all the required information must be entered. Following are some additional issues that you might encounter, and how to resolve them.

Issue Resolution

Transaction cannot be saved because the books are closed for the period

Either open the books (General Ledger > All > Statistical journal entries) or use the Statistical adjusting entry option to create adjustments.

Transaction cannot be saved because it falls outside of account periods you've defined

Create a new accounting period (Company > Admin > More and select Add (circle) next to Accounting periods).
