How to write a manual journal

Post an adjustment directly to ledger accounts. Debits must equal credits.

Who can do this: Admins and Accountants. Viewers see a note that their role can view but not create journals.

Steps

Step by step

  1. Accountant → Manual journals → New journal.
  2. Enter the date and a reference.
  3. Add lines: choose the Account, and a Party (customer or vendor) where the account needs one; enter Debit or Credit.
  4. Add a Description on lines that need explaining.
  5. Check the Total — debits and credits must match.
  6. Save as draft, or submit to post it.

Tips

  • Use journals for adjustments only. Sales, purchases and payments should use their own documents so GST and ageing stay right.
