The Action menu is one of the selections available from the General Ledger menu bar. From the Action menu you can select the action you want to perform. For example, you are working in a General Ledger window and want to save your work. From the Action menu, you would select Change.
Listed next to each action is the shortcut key(s) that will perform that action. You can press the shortcut key(s) to perform the action instead of selecting the action from the Action menu.
