Recording Development Activity in Finance through Journal Entries
Any development activity that is posted in development can be posted to Finance. To post a donation in Development module, a user must have Development Full role and should also be associated with General Ledger. However, the user does not need any Finance roles to perform Development Post.

1. Navigate to Finance->Banking>Development Transactions
2. Select all transactions to be included in the new journal entry.
3. Use multi-action “Create Journal Entry”
4. Specify journal entry details.
5. The system produces a table of credits and debits for each type of transactions. Select the correct accounts. The system will automatically pull revenue accounts for associated funds.
6. Check “post if able” to post the new journal entry automatically
7. Click Save

You are now redirected to Finance>Ledger>Journal Entries>Dashboard, the dashboard for the newly created Journal Entry. Note, that each line item on this journal entry is referencing Development Transaction Id which references the original development transactions.
