{{Page title|Edit Distribution Entry }}

This window enables you to distribute all or part of this transaction's amount to a general ledger account.  There is no limit to the number of distribution lines which can be entered.  NOTE:  This window will continue to appear until the full amount of the current transaction has been distributed.  Also, the [Record Entry] button on the previous window will not be available until the full amount of the current transaction has been distributed.

If the commission agent selected is a "Posting Agent", then the general ledger account number will be automatically taken from the Commission Account Payable for that agent and the words "Posting Agent" will appear on the Amount line on this window.  If the commission agent selected is an "Information Agent", then the system will not automatically select a general ledger account number and the words "Information Agent" will appear on the Amount line on this window.

{{Important tip|tip=NOTE:  If you enter a restricted account number in this field, a System Warning window will open.  Please read the warning message carefully and respond to this message appropriately.  For additional information regarding this warning window, please see [[<ins>System Warning</ins>]].

It is <ins>not</ins> advisable to post transactions to Restricted general ledger accounts as this may cause a subsidiary ledger to be out of balance with the General Ledger.  Therefore, the system will <ins>not</ins> allow you to post transactions processed in any accounting module (except the General Ledger module) to restricted accounts.

In the General Ledger module only, the system will allow you to post a <ins>Journal Entry</ins> to a Restricted general ledger account. You will be warned that the account is restricted; however, the system will give you the choice to post the Journal Entry transaction to the restricted account anyway.

For further information regarding Restricted Accounts, please see Select an ''[[<big><ins>Active and Restricted General Ledger Account</ins></big>]]''.}}

To make your selection, simply point your mouse cursor to the appropriate Radio Button for either Cost or Revenue and left-click your mouse one time.
