Create, post and reverse a manual journal

A manual journal records an accounting transaction outside the automatic daily posting flow. Save it as a draft, check its balance, then post with the appropriate permission.

Create the journal

1. Open Accounting › Journal Entries and create an entry.
2. Enter the posting date, reference and memo.
3. Add lines with an account, branch and either a debit or credit.
4. Balance debits and credits, including each branch's share.
5. Choose Save Draft.
6. Review the saved journal and choose Post.

Each line needs one positive debit or credit rather than both sides filled.

Posting and reversal permissions are separate from ordinary editing.

Review the branch, posting date and account selections before confirming a financial action. Posted journals feed the statements; saving a draft alone does not. If a posted amount needs correction, use the supported reversal or adjustment workflow and retain the original reference so the accounting history remains understandable.
