How do I post a manual journal entry?

You will have a posted adjustment.

Before you start

You need the accounting write permission and an open period for the date.

Steps

1. Open Journal Entries and press New Journal Entry.
2. Set the date and a description.
3. Add at least two lines: ledger account, Debit or Credit, amount (and a dimension where required).
4. Press Save as Draft, then press Post on the row.

What you will see

The draft appears with total debits; after posting it gets a number such as 2026-000123.

If something goes wrong

• Debits must equal credits.
• A draft cannot be edited; delete it and start again.
• Group accounts do not appear in the picker.
• Check the "may post twice" warning before overriding it.
