Accounting keeps your books from the documents you already make. Sales, purchases, receipts and payments post their own ledger entries; here you add the entries that have no other document, read the day book, cash book and ledgers, match the bank, and see the trial balance, profit and loss, balance sheet and cash flow. A Tally export is there for your accountant.

Vouchers
Vouchers are the entries you write yourself: manual journals, money moved between your own cash and bank, expenses, recurring expenses and income that does not come from a sales invoice. Each one is numbered from its document type and posted to the ledger when it is saved. Early-payment discounts given or taken on invoices and bills are listed here too.
Journal Entries
Menu path: /accounts/journalLists every ledger voucher, both the ones your documents post on their own and the manual journals you write by hand. Accountants use the New Journal form for adjustments that are not a normal sale, purchase, receipt or payment.
How to use it

- Change the Period dates and press Apply to see another range, or press This FY to return.
- Use the quick filters (Manual, Auto-posted, Out of balance) or the search box to find a journal.
- Press New Journal to write a manual entry. The header dialog opens first: choose the document type, date and branch, and type the narration, then press Apply.
