Hi

Accountant has asked me to process transaction Debited retained earnings and credit CIS- from inland Revenue. When I try to make General Journal entry it gives me this message "Select a different type of account for this line.  You can only select an account payable (AP) or account receivable (AR) account on the first line of a journal entry and it can only be used once in the same transaction"

 

Is there another way I can process this transaction?

I am also trying to debit a creditors accounts and credit retained earnings.  How can I do this?

Thanking you for your help
