The Online Journal Diary Merits

By Marlene Blevins


A journal in accounting is the book where business transaction entries are first made as they occur. With latest developments in e-commerce, online journal diary has emerged to tap the new businesses based on the internet. There are several advantages of online journals which are discussed below.

Web-based journals are made in such a way that they are able to track all activity happening in our business. Every time a client log in to their account that activity is tracked and recorded. Any transaction, created or modified by the client or a third party deletes a transaction, web-based entries are made automatically. Automatic creation of entries of all activity on your business website means there will not be any error of entry as it is common with entries made by a person

Moist online journals are designed in such a way as to enable automation of events. When a client purchases anything from the web-based business, the journal automatically bills the customer. This makes the work of those responsible for such tasks as billing clients as it reduces their workload. This creates more time for other more important tasks. It also ensures accuracy as it avoids chances of errors common with human beings.

Automatic emailing to group of clients can be enabled. After they are enabled, the group of clients you have created and the memorized reports you create will be run and send on the time schedules you set. In offline journal entries this is a feature you will not enjoy. You will have to send the schedules yourself which sometimes can be delayed by unforeseen natural happens such as emergencies you have to attend to or the normal human nature of error to send them.

The location of the customers may be important to some businesses. With web-based journals, it is possible to locate your customers as when they log in, the system records where they are logging in from. This may come in handy for such things as marketing campaigns as you know where most of your clients are located. With manual journals, this may be hard to keep up with.

Keeping one record on accounts of receivables and one for payables is the norm in offline journals. The online entries come with multiple lines for multiple recording of payables and receivable accounts. During consolidation of accounts either daily, weekly, monthly or any other time they are supposed to be consolidated, you only need to add them from the same page with many lines.

The bank transactions are updated immediately as they occur in web-based journals. Unless on very rare occasions when there is technical error on your site, all the bank transactions are entered corrected without any error. With this happening in real time, possibility of hackers getting in your site and destroying all your data is not high because even if they deface your site, all the transactions up to the time they hacked were recorded and back up created

All these advantage show just how online journal entries can be of help to your smooth running of business. It may also help in cutting down operational costs since you don't need many personnel to enter the entries. Care should be taken, however, because clients' information can be accessed by hackers.
