Adding an element to an opening balance document
There are two methods of adding an element to an opening balance document:
1. Through form
by clicking [Add through Form] button. On an opened form, there are the following mandatory fields:
Account – number of an account on which the opening balance will be saved
Amount Dr– this value can be entered manually or specified with the use of arrows
Amount Cr - this value can be entered manually or specified with the use of arrows
Other fields:
Customer/Vendor – name of a company the OB document is assigned to
Posting Date – date of registering a document in the books. Posting date must be included in the time range of the current accounting period. Otherwise, the system will not allow the entering of the data
After completing the form, click [Save].
2. Directly in table
by clicking on the button [Add in Table]. Data is entered in the row that appears on the list of elements. The following columns must be filled in: Account, Amount Dr, Posting Date, and Amount Cr. The columns: Account Name and Currency are filled in automatically upon the selection of an account.
This is a faster and more comfortable method of entering the accounting data into the system. There is no need to save such entered element. The entire document must be saved only.
