Journal Entries

Post manual general ledger entries for adjustments, accruals, corrections, or any transaction not covered by a specific document type.

List View

Go to Transactions → Journal Entries. The list shows number, date, party, reference, narration, and total amount.

Click New Journal Entry and fill in:

Field	Description
Date	Entry date (required)
Party	Optional — link to a customer or supplier
Reference	Optional reference number
Narration	Description of the entry

Add debit and credit lines — select the account and enter the amount. The entry cannot be saved unless total debits equal total credits.

Click Save to record the journal. The entry is committed to the ledger immediately.

Use journals for adjusting entries, accruals, provisions, and depreciation corrections.
Each saved journal creates a permanent ledger entry visible in all GL reports.
To reverse a journal, create a new journal with the same accounts but swapped debit/credit amounts.
