Manual journal voucher

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


Quick steps

  1. 1

    Open Journal

    In the accounting area, start a new Journal Voucher (JV).

  2. 2

    Add debit lines

    Choose ledgers to debit and the amounts.

  3. 3

    Add credit lines

    Choose ledgers to credit; total debits must equal total credits.

  4. 4

    Add a narration and post

    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.
