New Journal Entry
Record a manual double-entry journal, with debits and credits that must balance.
Fields
- Date
- Description (required)
- Reference
- Lines (at least 2 required) — each with an account, description, and either a debit or credit amount
- Status — draft or posted (defaults to posted)
Total debits must equal total credits — an unbalanced entry is rejected before it's saved. This is real double-entry bookkeeping, not a soft warning.
A draft journal can be edited before posting — see Posting a Journal Entry. A journal saved as posted directly takes effect immediately.
