Manual journal voucher
Post your own balanced Dr/Cr journal for adjustments Storeflea can't infer — depreciation, provisions, corrections — on a JV series.

Explain the entry, then post — it gets a number from the JV series.
A journal voucher (JV) is the accountant's free-form entry for things the automatic postings can't know about — write-offs, depreciation, provisions, reclassifications and corrections.
It must balance
A journal is balanced Dr/Cr: total debits equal total credits. Storeflea won't let you post an unbalanced journal, which is exactly what keeps your books trustworthy. Each JV gets a number from its own JV series and a narration explaining why.
What a journal is NOT for
To keep classifications clean, Storeflea restricts journals the Tally way:
- No cash/bank accounts in a journal — moving money between them is a contra; paying/collecting is a receipt/payment.
- System ledgers (like GST and Sales) are managed by Storeflea and hidden from manual journals, so you can't accidentally corrupt tax or sales figures.
Typical journals
- Provide for an expense not yet paid (provision).
- Write off a bad debt.
- Reclassify an amount posted to the wrong expense ledger.
Availability
Journals are part of the gated Accounting feature and, on multi-shop accounts, live on the Main branch. Create any custom ledgers you need first — see Ledger master.
Frequently asked
How do I pass a manual journal entry in Storeflea?
Open a Journal Voucher, add debit lines and credit lines with amounts, and add a narration. Total debits must equal total credits — Storeflea rejects an unbalanced journal. It's posted on a JV series. Cash/bank accounts and system ledgers (GST, Sales) can't be used in a journal by design.
Why can't I select cash or bank in a journal?
By design. Moving money between cash/bank accounts is a contra, and paying or collecting is a receipt/payment. Journals are reserved for non-cash adjustments, which keeps every rupee classified correctly.
