This article explains how to post the Nominal Journal Crediting Office chit in Unity® Practice Management. 

This chit pays money into an Office Ledger from a Nominal Ledger, with the option of marking any bills or disbursements as paid. It debits the Nominal Ledger and credits the Office Ledger.

How to Access  the Chit

1. Open the Accounts program.
2. Click the Posting icon. 
3. Double-click the Nominals folder to display a list of Nominals chits.
4. Double-click the Nominal Journal Crediting Office option.

How to Post the Chit

1. Select a Branch.
2. Select a Nominal to debit.
3. Enter a Matter Code or search for a Matter Code by clicking on the three dots in the Matter Code field.
4. Enter the Amount to journal, to credit any Bills or Disbursements as part of the journal, do the following:
   • Click on the three dots next to the Amount field, and a new window will pop up. This window is divided into 2 sections. The upper section will display any Unpaid Bills, and the lower section will display any Unpaid Disbursements. The lower section allows you to directly mark disbursements as paid (i.e., if you do not intend to include them on a bill). This will help keep the unbilled disbursement statistics and reports accurate.
   • To partly pay a Bill/Disbursement, locate the required record, then enter an amount into the Amount To Credit field. 
   • To fully pay a Bill or Disbursement, locate the required record, then tick the Pay All checkbox.

   • Click OK to save any changes or click Cancel to quit the window without saving.

5. Enter a Reference. 
6. To enter a Narrative, either enter the text manually or click the dropdown arrow to select from a list of standard Narratives. (An entry in this field is not mandatory.)
7. Select a posting Date.
   • If the date selected is not within the next financial month, the Post into Next Month checkbox will be ticked by default. The transaction will automatically be posted to the next month.
8. Enter a Batch (if applicable). 
9. Click Post to post the transaction to the Ledger Card.
