Manual Journals - Show Accruals and or Cash on posted manual journal
Two things on new journals. One, I can't enter dates manually I have to use the mouse to select it which slows down data entry. Two, I use both cash & accrual journals. When I clicked into a journal on the old system I could see which type of journal I had entered. now I have to edit the journal to find out. I have reverted back to the old system.

Can this not be able to shown on main Posted Journals Screen - where all the journals posted are shown - that way if one is missed it can be easily fixed

I am genuinely curious as to how this got through production & made live? It is a huge step backwards, nowhere near even a minor improvement.
Needing to scroll across for tracking categories & to view the debit/credits columns is counter productive, along with not being able to add lines by tabbing across.
You feedback button does not work either. -

Please bring back the drop-down box for the tax type: GST free, GST on expenses, etc. Relying on the default code in the chart of accounts doesn't always work. & why would you take away a feature and grey out the box?
Totally agree with the scrolling being terrible.
And who voted for a layout change? I'd prefer requested changes be done, e.g., allowing a change to the GST value to match the counterparty, increasing the decimal places on invoices and bills so we can match the counterparty without fudging numbers.
Ok and make this feedback box bigger, so it doesn't need a scroll bar.
thanks!

The new Manual Journals screen requires horizontal scrolling to view all fields, making journal entry and review less efficient. This needs to be fixed asap.

Even on a large monitor I have to scroll across the length. can you add an auto-adjust, or just reduce the size?

The screen is too large!! You have to scroll across to enter data. Can't see the whole journal without scrolling across. Can't take a snippy, for sharing, without it being massive. The old system was more efficient. With all clients that I work on, I have reverted them back to the old screen.

The changes to the manual journal layout are impractical and add time. The full line can't be seen at one time which means to input or to view, you have to scroll across. This also means that you can't take a snip of the journal which is the quickest way to capture in communications. There is so much blank space on either sides of the screen. This is terrible and very frustrating. It worked much better before. I also preferred the look of the previous journal. Not sure why development time has been put into visuals changes that are a step backwards. Please reinstate the previous journal layout and functionality that doesn't require scrolling across the screen to see the journal.

Having to scroll across to enter details is not very user friendly. Can you amend this please

In addition, the 'Give us your feedback' button is not working. Nothing happens when I click on it.

Hi, My issue with the new format is that I can't see the whole journal without scrolling, as I have 2 x types of tracking codes. This is not optimal. Not user friendly at all

Having to use the mouse once again is seriously frustrating - to have to scroll left & right with the mouse when all i want to do is look at my journal is just absurd. All the wasted space on the page around the section that the journal sits in needs to be used so that we can see the whole journal in one go.

Agree with Natasha - there is so much wasted space on screen, yet I have to scroll across to see the credit and debit columns. My client is using both tracking options and so I am scrolling back and forth to see and enter my journal amounts, I have to switch back to old just to stop the extra time its taking to do the entries.

The journal page is way too big to look at. When editing the tax rate the options blend in with columns above and you cannot find the option easy

Add to this - The journal when viewed doesn't fit on one page when there is some sort of tracking - you need to use a scroll bar to see the credit entry - so much wasted space. Also you cannot do an addition in the journal entry screen using the = button. I would give feedback using the little feedback tray on the bottom left of the new journal page - but guess what? It doesn't work!
