Journal entries, ledger and corrections
Use a manual entry when no suitable operational document covers the accounting event. Review invoice-generated entries alongside their source invoice.

Before you start
Select the correct company and verify permissions. Learn in a test workspace; posting or restoring can change actual data.
Workflow
- Choose date, period and description, then add posting accounts on both sides.
- Review debit, credit, currency and exchange rate; the entry must balance.
- Save a draft and post after review; open the ledger for the same account and period.
- For a posted error, review the available reversal or correction action rather than silently rewriting history.
Watch this distinction
A balanced entry does not prove correct account selection. Do not duplicate an automatic entry with a manual entry for the same transaction.
Verify the result
Reopen the record and check saved values and state. For financial operations, compare the document with the relevant movement and report before continuing.
