> How daily sales journals turn POS data into accounting exports.

## What are Daily Sales Journals?

Daily sales journals collect your daily POS data (sales, discounts, CC & cash payments) in a format that's exportable to your accounting software.

We track:

* Sales & Discounts
* Credit Card Deposits
* Cash Deposits & Cash Adjustments
* Sales Tax
* Delivery Payments
* Gift Cards
* Scheduled Orders & Invoices

## Getting Started

### Set Up Sales Mapping

In the **Sales Mapping** page, specify which accounts will be mapped to each sales journal line.

For any A/P accounts, specify the linked vendor as well.

### Export Sales Journals

You can find your journals in the **Sales Journals** page:

To export, select which entries you want to export and click Push to **QuickBooks Desktop**. If your accounting system is not QuickBooks Desktop, it will say **Push to NetSuite** or **Push to QuickBooks Online**.

You can click on each table row to see the breakdown of each entry, such as:

Here, you'll be able to edit the entry and the memos when necessary.
