Print transaction list G/L

If a fee amount was entered in the Print Trans List Charge field, enter the G/L account to which this fee income should be posted.

If a fee amount was entered in the Print Trans List Charge field, enter the default member account suffix from which the fee should be taken. For example, to pull the fee from the member’s checking account suffix -001, enter 001 here.

If a member does not have this account type, the account suffix can be changed manually when the report is printed. Click here for more details on printing this report.
