Sage 100 ERP Consultant Tip on How to Copy Standard Journal Entries  

Question: Mike, we own Sage 100 ERP (formerly Sage MAS90), we have journals that we do each month that are very much the same with only a few differences. Is there a way we can copy a previous journal and just edit it without having to type all the detail lines.

Answer: What you are referring to is called a Standard Journal. Multiple Standard Journals have been around since version 4.0. Here are the steps to use:

Sage 100 Tips and Tricks
