Adjusting Journals

Adjusting Journals allow you to reflect the true economic reality of your business, not just raw accounting data.

Adjusting journals are reflected in Management Accounts and KPIs.

To create Adjusting Journals:

  • Navigate to the Client Folder/Adjusting Journals.
  • Click on "New," and a new Adjusting Journal screen will appear.
  • Fill in the relevant details, such as Date and Description, to start a new journal.
  • Use the icon with a + sign to add new items to the Adjusting Journal.
  • Once all the items are added, click the Save (floppy disk) button at the top of the screen.

Journals that are not saved are not preserved and have no impact on the reports.

Saved Journals can be posted or left unposted.

Unposted Journals are expected to be later edited. The impact of unposted journals on the reports can be seen when using the 'Include Unposted Adjusting Journal' tick box when running them. Unposted Journals can be Deleted.
Posting of the journal is done by the red stamp button at the top of the screen. Posted Journals cannot be amended; they can only be reversed.

The "Created Journals Copy" function is available for both Saved Journals and Posted Journals, enabling the creation of an exact duplicate of the original journal.
