OneSource Transaction / Accounting Flow.
Note: To help illustrate how how Debits and Credits are effected (and actually flow through OneSource) we will use a ficticous example of a man who decided to open a busines, buy a few items, sell a few items, etc...  This example should help to clarify what is debited and credit (and why).

Makes a "Beginning Balance" adjustment on the Adjustments tab of the Check Writer.       OneSource has a table called Check Writer. This table is the record source for the Check Writer form that tracks all Checks, Deposits, and Adjustments.  OneSource also has a GL Transactions table that is automatically updated with the proper debits and credits to all accounts when any "transaction" (such as an Invoice, Invoice Payment, Bill, Bill Payment, etc) is "posted".
