Introduction for a Standard Journal Entry
Standard Journal Entries allow the user to set up a “canned” entry that may be used to avoid repetitive entry and save time.  A Standard Journal Entry is generated once a month on either a fixed amount or a percentage from one expense account to another and will be generated until they are deleted. A good example would be rent.  Say the rent was $10,000 per month and you want to distribute a fixed amount to various departments each month.  You would make a Standard Journal entry crediting the general rent account for $10,000 and debit Manufacturing $5000, Admin $2500, and Sales $2500, or you could make it a percentage distributions with 50% going to Mfg, 25% to Admin, and 25% to Sales.
