Manual Journals

Manual journals allow for the recording of financial transactions that are not automatically processed through invoices or other system transactions. In this guide, we will cover how to record and manage manual journals in detail.

How to Add Manual Journals on Wafeq

Go to the "For Accountants" menu in the main navigation, then select "Manual Journals."

To add a new entry, click the "Add" button.

In the first row, enter the details for the debit party, then for the credit party in the second row. After that, click on the  arrow next  to the "Save and pos" button, then choose:

• Save and post: This option finalizes and posts the journal entry, which will then be reflected in your general ledger.
• Save as Draft: This option saves the entry as a draft, but it will not have any financial impact on your ledger. This is useful for entries that are not yet complete or need further review.

After saving, you can hover over or click the green book icon to view the journal entry in the general ledger.

The journals list gives you a comprehensive overview of all the journal entries you have created. From here, you can easily review invoices, filter them, and take direct actions:

• Search bar: Type a keyword, such as a description of an entry, to filter the entries and find what you are looking for.
• Sort: Click to sort the entries by date, description, reference, and more.
• Filter: Use the filters to narrow down the results by status (e.g., Draft, Posted), time period, account, or contact.
• Import: Upload your journal entries in bulk.
• Export: Download the journals list in your preferred format.
