Journal Entries

Journal entries are the core record of every financial transaction. Each entry has a date, description, and two or more lines — every entry must balance (total debits = total credits).

To create a journal entry:
1. Go to Accounting → Journal Entries
2. Click "+ New Entry"
3. Enter the date and description
4. Add lines: for each line, select an account, enter a debit or credit amount, and optionally add a memo
5. The entry is valid when debits equal credits
6. Click "Post Entry"

Entries are posted immediately and appear in the Trial Balance and Reports. Draft entries are not yet supported — all entries are posted on save.

To view an entry: click any row to expand it inline. The detail shows all lines with account codes, debit/credit amounts, and memos.

To void an entry: expand it and click "Void". Voided entries remain visible (with a strikethrough status) for audit purposes but their amounts are excluded from all reports.

Note: Some entries are created automatically by the system when bills are paid or AR invoices are recorded.
