Voucher type: Journal Entry

Journal Entry is the default voucher type and the one to use for any adjustment that does not involve a bank account: reclassifying an expense booked under the wrong head, accruing income or costs at month end, writing off a small balance, or moving an amount between cost centers. It posts whatever balanced rows you give it, nothing is implied. The type is a label that helps filtering in the General Ledger and the Journal Entry list, and it keeps bank movements, which belong under Bank Entry, out of the bank reconciliation queue. The figures below move Rs 10,000 of advertising that was booked to Miscellaneous Expenses into Advertising and Promotion.

1. 01Go to Invoicing > Journal Entry > New and leave Voucher Type as Journal Entry.
2. 02Add the account to be increased with a Debit and the account to be reduced with a Credit.
3. 03Set the Cost Center on each row, Main - YFF or Marketing - YFF.
4. 04Write a User Remark naming the original voucher being corrected.
5. 05Save and Submit. The rows below post and both ledgers show the correction.

Use for accruals, corrections and transfers that do not touch a bank account.

Move Rs 10,000 of advertising wrongly booked to Office Expense into Marketing Expense.
