Welcome to the Community, edexdev.

 

I'll be more than happy to walk you through how you can start making your journal entry as well as doing bank reconciliation.

 

Beforehand, let me provide you with the reasons why you'll need to create a journal entry. 

 

  • If you enter debits and credits manually, like in traditional accounting systems.
  • Transferring money between income and expense accounts. 
  • Transferring money from an asset, liability, or equity account to an income or expense account.

 

In creating a Journal entry, you can follow the steps below :

 

  1. Click the + New icon.
  2. Below the Other column select Journal entry.
  3. Select an account from the Account field, on the first line. This is if you need to debit or credit the account, enter the correct amount in the correct column.
  4. On the second line, choose the account you're moving the money to or from. Depending on if you entered a debit or credit on the first line, enter the same amount In the opposite column.
  5. The amount of the Credit column and the Debit column should have the same amount. This means the accounts are balanced.
  6. In the Memo section enter the information to know why you made the journal entry.
  7. Click the Save and new or Save and close below.
