General journal and opening balances (Pro)

Most entries are automatic. Use a manual journal only for adjustments such as depreciation, accruals, prepayments or opening balances.

1. Finance › General journal › New journal entry.
2. Enter the date and Details (e.g. Annual depreciation 2026).
3. Add at least two lines: choose the account and put the amount in Debit or Credit (one side per line). Debits must equal credits — the form shows Not balanced until they do.
4. Tick This is an opening balance when moving balances from an old system.
5. Tap Post journal.

Manual journals and opening balances can be edited later; every change is kept in the history.
