The journal voucher (JV) records the item-wise financial transactions. It is a document used to record financial transactions in an organization's accounting system. It is used to transfer information from source documents to accounting journals and ledgers. Journal vouchers are typically used to record transactions that do not involve a cash exchange, such as the accrual of expenses, depreciation, or the recognition of revenue.

The Accounts JV page in the greytHR Admin page helps you to generate the new voucher for the month. The voucher contains information such as Conveyance, PF, Employer PF, and Salary Payable. You must create the journal voucher every month. The page displays a list of attempts you made while creating a JV. 

To view the Accounts JV page, from the greytHR Admin portal, hover over the 9 dots and go to Payroll > Payout > Accounts JV.

You can perform the following action on the Accounts JV page.

1. Create a new JV.

2. Export JV.

3. Cancel JV.
