Processing Sales to Nominal Journals

Modified on Mon, 17 Feb at 7:15 AM

A sales to nominal journal is a useful tool for quickly reallocating a value from a nominal code to a sales ledger account


Accessing the Sales to Nominal Journal

To begin the process, follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to Accounts > Nominal Ledger
  2. Click on Sales > Nominal Journal
  3. A journal entry screen will appear



Completing the Sales to Nominal Journal Entry

Once on the journal entry screen, you need to input the relevant details:

  • Sales Ledger Account – Select the account that should receive the positive value.
  • Nominal Code – Choose the nominal code from which the amount will be transferred.
  • Amount – Enter the value being reallocated.
  • Description/Reference – Provide a brief reason for the journal entry.

Example Transaction

For example, posting a £100 adjustment would result in:

AccountDescriptionDebit (£)Credit (£)
Sales Ledger AccountAdjustment100.00
Nominal Code 1.80.50.445Adjustment100.00


This will create a positive £100 on the sales ledger account and a negative £100 in nominal code 1.80.50.445.



Posting and Completing the Journal

  1. Once all fields are filled in, click Post Journal.
  2. If part of a batch, select Complete Batch to finalise the entries.

? Tip: Always double-check your entries before posting to avoid misallocations.
