More or less all modern accounting systems contain a General Journal function which allows for direct entry of accounting transactions without concern for user interface restrictions. An external accountant will often request that transactions be entered by General Journal, because creating such transactions requires no software or system specific knowledge - just a good understanding of accounting principles.

The Bulk Journal function in Ardex Premier does everything a General Journal function would do in another application - and much more. As with recording of General Journal transactions in any application, some basic accounting knowledge is essential.

Some effort is needed to learn how to use the Bulk Journal function in Ardex. The Bulk Journal is considered an advanced feature, and requires a basic background in accounting principles. However, the power and functionality provided by the Bulk Journal feature makes it a very valuable tool for any business maintaining accounting records in Ardex Premier.
