Use Journal for accounting adjustments and transfers that are not ordinary sales, purchases, payments or receipts.
What this guide covers
Quick facts
Use a Journal entry for accounting adjustments where a normal Sale, Purchase, Payment or Receipt does not represent the transaction correctly.
Journal entries move value between accounting heads, so verify the selected accounts and amounts before saving.
Use narration or description fields when available so the reason for the journal remains understandable later.
After saving, use the Day Book or relevant ledger to confirm the adjustment appears in the expected account history.
