Overview
This help guide is intended for advisors only. As a business owner, you should not be creating journals yourself.
For a general overview of how Easy Business App works, we highly recommend reading Easy Business App for Bookkeepers & Accountants.
As a full double-entry accounting system, Easy Business App supports the creation of manual journals.
Steps
1. Navigate to Easy Reports > Reports > For Advisors > Journals
2. Here you will see a list of existing journals. You can click the Create New button to create a new manual journal, or click on an existing journal to edit it.
3. You can now enter multiple line items and create the credits and debits to each category (account) as needed. You can add a note to each line item, and also an overall description (memo).
Adding Opening Balances
Note that there is a special Opening Balances checkbox, which you should use only when entering opening balances into the account. This will mark the journal as a different type in your reports (an Open. Balance Journal) and will also allow you to journal the opening balance into a bank asset account (from the Opening Balance Conversion liabilities account).
Opening Balance journals are treated in a special way by the reconciliation screen and reconciliation reports (launching soon).
Journaling into linked bank accounts is not supported other than through the Opening Balances journal to prevent problems with bank account reconciliation.
