Accounting Core

A double-entry general ledger with manual journals and optional configured source automation.

Overview and core concepts

A double-entry general ledger with manual journals and optional configured source automation.

Choose the company’s base currency before creating entries; review the starter chart with your accountant. Asset, liability, equity, income and expense accounts have different reporting roles.

Journals organize entries. Periods control where entries can be posted. Each draft must balance total debits and credits using active posting accounts.

Posting makes an entry immutable. Reversal creates an opposite entry rather than rewriting posted history.

General Ledger shows posted movements; Trial Balance compares debit and credit totals. Profit & Loss shows income and expenses. Balance Sheet includes current earnings. Opening balances use the dedicated entry purpose and must also balance.

Manual General Ledger plus optional configured Sales, Expenses and Inventory source automation, role mappings/readiness, retained source links and immutable posted history.

Before you start & permissions

Select the right company and confirm that this app is active.

Accounting viewing and separate setup, draft-entry, posting, reversal, period and report permissions as appropriate.

Understanding permissions

Getting started & common workflows

  1. Configure base currency and fiscal-year start. Review or initialize the starter chart, accounts and account types.
  2. Create an open period and an active journal.
  3. Create a draft entry, choose its date and purpose, and enter debit/credit lines. Check the balance before posting.
  4. Post with the appropriate permission, inspect all reports and use an authorized reversal in an open period when needed.

Worked example

Fictional example in a USD ledger: debit Cash USD 1,000 and credit Sales Revenue USD 1,000. Post the balanced entry in an open period, review the reports and use reversal if correction is needed.

Related modules

Shared records and explicit handoffs keep work connected. Each module still requires its own access and permissions.

Troubleshooting

  • Posting blocked? Check equal debit/credit totals, open period, active posting accounts and posting permission.
  • Missing a linked invoice journal? Review the workflow activation point, required apps, mappings, period and source status. Earlier or foreign-currency sources may require manual accounting.
  • Cannot edit a posted entry? Use reversal; do not recreate history. Check report dates and current earnings when comparing reports.
  • For a missing connected action, check the selected company, matching active apps, permissions, workflow enablement and readiness. Historical records are not backfilled.

Current platform notes

  • Manual journals remain available. Source automation requires the corresponding apps, enabled workflows, base-currency eligibility, account mappings and open periods; there is no historical backfill.
  • No bank feeds/reconciliation, FX accounting, tax filing or payroll. This documentation is product guidance, not accounting, tax or legal advice.
