To simplify the assignment of business transactions to the corresponding G/L accounts, you can use the Fast Capture Codes module. With this functionality, you're just a keyword away from efficient account assignments and extending the Cash Book and the Extended Incoming Payments Ledger with the "Fast entry code" column in the respective book sheets.

Note

The Using Fast Capture Codes feature is part of the Essential module that you can use free of charge. Go to the Introduction to the Essential Module article to learn more about activating the module.

To add a fast capture code:

  1. Go to Essential > Fast Capture Codes.

  2. Select New.

  3. For the new Fast Capture Code, enter the following information:

    FieldDescription
    Catchword CodeEnter the keyword. For example, Utility.
    Posting DescriptionEnter the posting text for the book sheet line. For example, Water, Electricity, and Gas.
    Account numberSelect the account or multiple accounts to which you want to allocate the expense.

If you access a general journal, the Fast Capture Code column will appear. Once you enter the code, the system will automatically add the account number and details.
