Viewing journal entries
=======================

In Tryton there are plenty of different ways of getting information about
the `journal entries`_ that record your
`Company's <company:model-company.company>` accounting transactions.

Each journal entry is represented by an `Account Move <model-account.move>`.
These account moves, and the `Account Move Lines <model-account.move.line>`
that make them up, can be found by:

* Using the items in the [:menuselection:`Financial --> Entries`] main menu
  item.
* `Viewing your chart of accounts data` and opening the accounts.
* `Using the general ledger` and opening the accounts.
* `Using the balance sheet` and opening the lines and then accounts.
* `Using the income statement` and opening the lines and then accounts.

.. tip::

    Account moves that are created by, or relate to, other documents or items
    on you Tryton system can also often be found from those documents or items.

Viewing your chart of accounts data
===================================

The [:menuselection:`Financial --> Reporting -> Chart of Accounts`] provides a
structured view of all the `Accounts <model-account.account>` that form your
`Company's <company:model-company.company>` accounts.

.. tip::

    Each account can be opened to show the
    `Account Move Lines <model-account.move.line>` that contributed to the
    debits and credits shown for that account.

.. _Viewing your tax code data:

Viewing your tax code data
==========================

From [:menuselection:`Financial --> Reporting -> Chart of Tax Codes`] you are
able to see data about what `Taxes <model-account.tax>` have been applied and
what amounts these were based on.
The `Tax Codes <model-account.tax.code>` are normally structured so that you
can find the data that you need to do your tax reporting.

.. tip::

    Each tax code can be opened to show the
    `Tax Lines <model-account.tax.line>` that contribute to the tax code's
    amount.
