How to post a manual journal entry
Web
Updated Aug 2026
Most postings happen automatically, but sometimes you need a manual journal entry — an accrual, a correction, an opening entry, a non-trading adjustment. RushFlow lets you post a balanced debit/credit journal directly to the ledger for exactly these cases.
Step by step
- Open journal entriesWeb: in the accounting area, create a journal entry.
- Enter debits and creditsAdd the lines — the debits must equal the credits — with the accounts and a description.
- Post itPost the balanced entry; it appears in the ledger and reports.
Where to find it
Web: the journal entries area (part of your books). App: the Books section for owners.
Use journals for genuine adjustments — day-to-day trading posts itself. Respect period locks.
Frequently asked questions
Can I post a manual journal entry?
Yes. Create a balanced debit/credit journal for adjustments that don’t come from a sale or purchase — accruals, corrections, opening entries — and it posts to the ledger.
