Journal entries are used for transactions that affect your books but do not fit into the standard categories for transactions (payments from tenants or payments made to vendors). For example, you receive a $10,000 capital contribution from an owner. To book it, you make a journal entry to Cash and the Capital Account.
Journal entries must be balanced -- a debit to one account and a credit to another.
Go to Accounting > General Ledger > Journals and click Add New.
Complete the screen. In the detail section, complete at least two lines -- one for a credit and one for a debit. The amounts must match (the journal entry must be balanced).
You can include more than one property on a journal entry, but each property must have its own set of balanced debits and credits. For example, you can't debit Property A for $100 and credit Property B for $100. Each of those properties needs its own debit and credit for $100.
Click Save.
Reverse Next Month
You can set up a journal entry that will be reversed automatically, by selecting the Reverse Next Month check box.
Use this option if you want something recorded in the current period and then backed out the next month.
For example, you had your building painted in December and you know that it will be $25,000, but the painter hasn't sent the invoice yet. You can enter a journal for it in December so it is booked as an expense for the current year, and then have Breeze reverse it in January when the bill actually arrives.
