Journal templates
Simple bookkeeping journal
{{bookkeeping journal| name = General | page = 1 }}
An empty journal just takes the journal name and page number
General 1
{{bookkeeping journal
| name = General
| page = 1
| entry =
{{bookkeeping entry| date = 2006<br/>Feb | day = 15 | description = Accounts Payable | dr = 100 }}
{{bookkeeping entry| description = Stock | cr = 80 }}
{{bookkeeping entry| description = Stationery | cr = 20 }}
}}
